Second Roll of Aerocolor IV (Flic Film Elektra 100)

 I bought a bunch of Flic Film Elektra 100 after shooting a roll of Santa Color 100 late last fall down in Niagara on the Lake with my good Canon New F-1. I packed a two rolls gifting one roll to my brother Alex before heading south on vacation for a week. This time around my second adventure of Kodak Aero Color IV at a different time of the year. 

Again, I shot at "box speed" at 100 ISO only this time through my Nikon F3/T. This time I loved the results even more, not just because it went through a different camera system. I think back late last November there was more infrared light in the spectrum due the time of year thus influencing the colour cast of the Aero Color 1V. Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load this film in subdued light to reduce the chance of light piping in the first three frames. As polyester bases goes Aero Color IV feels about the same as Japan Camera Hunter Streetpan 400, give or take a micron. 

Despite what you have to be mindful of, I think Flic Film Elektra 100 is replacing Kodak Ektar 100 in my colour film arsenal once those stocks deplete. It doesn't hurt Elektra 100 is $5 cheaper than Ektar 100 in the Canadian market. 

Camera: Nikon F3HP, Nikkor AiS 50 F1.4, 28 F2.8 lens.
