    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    Note that the brand was "AgfaPhoto", not "Agfa".

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    In any case the part in bold can't be credible -- Ferrania had a HUGE factory and to make things profitable it needed to keep it running. The other part of the business of Ferrania was doing the conversion (cutting, perforating, packaging), to sell brand-label film. But Agfa also did the same...

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    Brother Mohmad, There's a problem: I thought it was widely known that the Ilford color films were produced by Sakura (= Konica). So if, according to what you say, Ferrania was making Konica/Sakura films, then Ilford wasn't making original research. I find hard to believe that Ferrania made...

    Back in June 2018, the Ferrania Folks hoped to be in continuous production by Fall

    Yes. This is a very important part, a key part, really. When they started this project not only Fuji was the sole maker of E6 (along with some remnants of Agfa Aviphot Chrome 200), but also the only makers for C41 film were Kodak and Fuji. Now the things have changed, we have Kodak E6 again...

    Rolleicord Vb - pristine condition, but the Xenar is very soft in the corners.

    I would like to know how are you assesing corner performance. Are you looking at film scans? That's a no no. You should, ideally, be looking at the negative itself with a strong loupe or with a microscope. So let's assume you're doing that. You meantion that the lens is "pristine". There's a...

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    This is true for the 1950s "ferraniacolor" films of ISO 16 (if i recall correctly) sensitivity, which predate the purchase of Ferrania by 3M (1964)

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    Sorry, but I have followed very closely the Ferrania story as it unfolded. They never said they would make a product that was better than Fuji. And their "recipes" (if we can call a complicated product such as color film in that way) have little direct relationship with Agfa. This was...

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    Harman probably can do the conversion and cutting. Btw, there's no way this film was made by two guys working quietly on a garage lab. I believe almost zero of that marketing blurb.

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    I think the guys at Ferrania, when told up "let's make slide film", were not thinking of "let's make slide film with really, really crappy colors".

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    The announcement says: "FuguFilm 400 is, we believe, the first completely new reversal film emulsion in nearly two decades.(...) Let us be clear, this is not an old storage roll pulled from the fabled Fuji freezer, or expired film, this is a completely new emulsion from the ground up" The...

    I'd be happy just with Astia 100F. Dark storage stability of E6 materials is very good now.

    I wonder how was that K25 kept. If it loses density that could be compensated by increased exposure and/or increased development. About the shift, it will have to be evaluated carefully -- Kodachrome films in general, even when fresh and exposed correctly, had non-neutral grays on certain zones...
