Kamerastore/Camera Rescue is handing off StantaColor 100 (Kodak Aerocolor IV) spooling production to Optik Oldschool.
If you’ve read the review or already have heard of the film, SantaColor is a respooled colour-negative film for aerial surveillance photography still manufactured fresh by Kodak. The Finnish Camera Rescue team was the first to discover and distribute this film for 35mm cameras, but, according to their announcement today, the operation will be handed off to the German maker Optik Oldschool.
Optik Oldschool will use its automated spooling machines to ramp up production and improve distribution; hopefully, making the film easier to find at your favourite shop.
Who is Optik Oldschool? You may recognize this lab’s name (located in Düsseldorf) from the OptiColour 200 film packs, which contain the brand-new German-made colour-negative film, reviewed here: analog.cafe/r/kono-color-2…. They are actually the first to make this film (a.k.a., ORWO NC200) in medium format.
