I was scrolling Amazon looking for film and stumbled on something I genuinely hadn’t heard of before: Kodak Aerocolor III, respooled and sold by Film Dongdong. In this video I break down what Kodak’s own datasheet says about it—medium-speed, very fine grain, wide latitude—and then translate the “aerial film” language into what it means for normal shooting. I also talk about processing: it’s designed for Kodak’s AN-6 process, but it can be developed in C-41, which is what most of us are actually going to do. From there, I get into the part everyone cares about: the look. Aerocolor III doesn’t have the typical orange mask you see on most color negative film (like Gold 200), and I’ll be honest—I couldn’t find a clear answer as to why, so I share my best guess from the datasheet and keep it labeled as speculation. I shot two rolls of 120 through my Pentax 67 with the 105mm f/2.4 in different scenes and lighting, scanned at home on my Panasonic Lumix S9, and converted in Lightroom with Negative Lab Pro with minimal adjustments. My takeaway: the film feels grungy but neutral—bleak in a good way—with slightly green, crunched shadows and magenta-leaning highlights, and it doesn’t really resemble anything else I’ve shot.
