Silberra Color 100

Silberra Color 100 is not your typical C-41 film stock. It has a strange pink/grey base and I wondered what would happen if I processed it differently.

The moment you show the cross processed film in e6 with box speed, my brain is like wowwww

That cross process surprised me how well that worked. That looks almost just like regular slide film. Amazing vid as always!

It's almost like it was intended to work with both type of developments

Now you have negative film with a clear (ish) base, do you think you will retry your DIY Aerochrome?

The "Silberra" film is almost certainly either a Kodak or Agfa aerial maskless color negative film, cut down and rebranded.
The lack of the color mask easily explains why these results show less true, less saturated colors. The color mask improves separation at exposure, leading to much better colors.
Aerial film lacks this mask, to make it more "readable" directly from the negative, but it makes it less suitable for regular color photography on the ground.

I just finished a roll TODAY of SantaColor 100 (which, as I learned 10 minutes ago, is probably the same film as Silberra Color 100) with the intention of processing in E-6, and I did overexpose it two stops (EI 25)... little did I know it would only make my life harder and my photos worse...
Loved the look of bleach bypass in this film, by the way. Thanks for these inspiring wacky experiments!

In the future I expect a book by you called "experimental film photography" or something with the best pictures taken during those crazy experiments and the second it comes out I'm going to own one!! Nice work!

i’m obsessed with the cross processed results. absolutely buying, shooting, and cross processing this 🙏

These negatives look pretty much like ones produced by Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460.
Aerocolor is lacking integral color mask layer, thus producing more of a transparent and not so brown-hued negative, also, thinner one.

what the heck, the true two-in-one film 😳😳

@deeranfoxworthy6069 4 years ago

I actually really liked the bleach bypass look and the cross processing. Haven't seen others bleach bypass as I too mainly shoot b&w. Very cool results!

My initial impression looking at those slides is the the silberra color 100 is wholesale slide film being sold as color negative.

I'll have to pick some up and try shooting it as a slide but with a 81a or 81b filter and see if it'll look more traditional slides. Or possibly even try using a CPL filter. Having just picked up 30 some 120 rolls of Velvia 100 for near the price of a slightly used kidney, I'd love to try something possibly cheaper.
