Profile notes

SantaColor 800 is produced and distributed by Optik Oldschool, which acquired the SantaColor brand from Kamerastore (Finland). The film emulsion itself is manufactured in the United States and hand-spooled in Finland. It is a standard C41 colour negative film compatible with all C41 processing. Key characteristics include natural skin tones, warm-punchy colour palette (strong reds, saturated tones), great sharpness, and wide exposure latitude. It is not a motion-picture film and requires no pre-bath remjet removal. Launched commercially in the 2020s. Available via Kamerastore, Optik Oldschool, Analogue Wonderland, Freestyle Photo, and other international retailers.
