Ferrania made xray film for Kodak and boxed it into yellow Kodak boxes. They sold that division to Kodak at the beginning of the '00. There are many interviews from ex Ferrania people on YouTube that talk about this.

(native Italian speaker here) Guys I think you are reading too much into this. It just says that while they are waiting for continuous production, they are selling a test batch which could have small defects, and they will replace the film if it does. Since it calls it "produzione pilota" it...

I would translate it like this: "While waiting for Ferrania to definitively restart production", "definitivamente" used in this context means in a way that is the final, definitive, i.e. "restarting production for good (and not expecting it to have interruptions)" Fun fact: I bought one of...

"riavviamento e settaggio" means restarting and fine-tuning. If everything stopped and they are indeed restarting production, it would be good news.

Someone edited the italian Wikipedia for FILM Ferrania. Apparently (if true) the current CEO stepped down (the two original founders stepped down in 2023): In English: Obviously without citing any sources. I looked around the Italian internet but I could not find any reference, but in a way...

Well I found it on Maco too, albeit out of stock, maybe they are going to announce it soon? Pretty cool if so. EDIT: it seems it was presented, at least in Italy:

I've always abused the Bellini kits by doing more rolls than the stated capacity, the first being my "important" stuff and the rest whatever I had in the queue that i could afford to lose. Sincerely I never noted any difference between the first and last ones at the naked eye, but I also never...

I used Bellini c41 a lot since I could source it directly in Italy and was quite cheap. I had very good results with it, but since I'm just an amateur doing my own stuff I never did control strips et al.

LOL my guess is a pat in the back, I'm a backer (and I DID update my data last time they asked before anybody feels the need to remind me that maybe I didn't) and they did not even bother to update us on kickstarter, I discovered that page trough this post. Last time I did not redeem my credits...

I used many times the Bellini kit with excellent results, I used to order it at ars-imago.

I can't say on any of the business operations, but what makes you think coating (and sourcing the base itself...) on a different base is trivial? Just look up the threads regarding the backing paper for 120.

Doesn't 4x5 and 120 have different film base? That alone could be quite a blocker.

Is the film even available yet for purchase? In and Italian forum I was reading of a gut that went to the presentation yesterday and said the test prints were quite nice.

Wait, how can they make a film more otho than P30? :D In any case if it is true it is terrific news! I wish I could go to the presentation, I was in Piacenza just a couple days ago.

Well today Fuji posted an announcement that they are temporarily stopping supply of color film in Japan: https://www.fujifilm.com/ffis/ja/news/126 It seems to be limited to Japan and I hope it is really temporarily.
