Flic Film Elektra 100 - 35mm Colour Negative Film
Kodak Aerocolor IV, liberated from the skies and re-spooled for your terrestrial photography needs. Flic Film Elektra 100 is medium-speed C-41 colour film with extremely fine grain, sharp acuity, and true-to-life colour rendition. Originally manufactured by Kodak for aerial surveillance (yes, really), this emulsion has been freed from mapping missions and given a second life in your camera. It's quirky, it's fun, and it photographs like a dream when you treat it right.
What Makes Flic Film Elektra Good
ISO 100 - Medium speed with high exposure latitude. Loves good light and rewards proper exposure with gorgeous, accurate colours that look like what your eyes actually saw.
Extremely Fine Grain - Sharp, clean, and detailed. This film was designed to photograph terrain from thousands of feet up, so it handles your street scenes just fine.
True-to-Life Colour - No weird colour casts or Instagram filter vibes. Just honest, beautiful colour reproduction that makes the mundane look quietly spectacular.
High Exposure Latitude - Forgiving enough that you can push or pull if needed, though it's happiest at box speed.
No DX Code - Set your ISO manually. Most cameras default to 100 anyway, so you're probably fine. Probably.
The Quirk You Need to Know About
Light Piping - This film has a personality trait: light can travel up the leader and fog your first few frames. Load it in subdued lighting (think indoors, shade, or at minimum not directly under the blazing sun). A little caution goes a long way. Consider it character-building.
Best For
Daytime shooting, travel photography, landscapes, portraits in natural light, and anyone who thinks "repurposed aerial surveillance film" is a fun conversation starter. Because it absolutely is.
Perfect for photographers who want clean, accurate colour and don't mind loading their film like they're developing a slight case of light paranoia.
