Aerocolor is a medium-speed, fine-grain color negative aerial film with wide exposure latitude, originally made for mapping and reconnaissance. In still photography it delivers clean detail and distinctive color that enthusiasts know under many boutique labels.

One film, many names

Santa Color 100, Luminare 100, Film Washi X 100, Elektra 100 and Silberra 160 all hold the same film: Kodak Aerocolor IV Negative Film 2460. Each company puts it in its own packaging (Silberra is no longer in business), but what’s on the roll is the same.

Kodak built Aerocolor for aerial work such as geological, crop and forestry surveys, city planning and remote sensing, so it has a tough ESTAR base with high tear resistance and excellent dimensional stability, an abrasion-resistant emulsion and an antihalation undercoat. It develops in standard C-41 (or Kodak’s AN-6 chemicals). If the label doesn’t matter to you, buy whichever brand costs least — the film is the same.
