The Santa RAE 1000 is a black and white film. It is a film that was offered by the camera dealer Kameratori Oy (Camera Store). This is film material from Russian production. The material is actually intended for aerial surveillance. The film rolls are then processed by hand in Finland into the finished production. The proceeds from the sale were donated to Ukrainian families in need.
With its high sensitivity, the Santa RAE 1000 is ideal for shooting indoors, at night or on cloudy days. It also captures fast movements, making it ideal for street photography, concerts or sporting events. To ensure the quality of the film, the manufacturer recommends storing it in a cool and dry place.
