Thanks, faberryman. If I have understood Adrian's testing correctly and I may not have, a very short development time with an EI that is half of Greg's 32 may work. I had a look at another 2 videos on this film and neither seemed worth very much terms of a scientific analysis compared to Greg's.
In neither is there any reference to its ortho qualities. In fact in one, the presenter introduces it as a famous ISO 80 panchromatic film from the heyday of the Italian cinema. He even uses what he say is a red filter over the lens( it did at least look orange/red) and if this was authentic then I am led to believe that it should have made the film blank but all it did was to leave the orange/reds in the scene very dark instead of lightening them but there was no mention of this effect
Maybe a 25 or even lighter red or orange/red filter does not block out other colours to an obvious extent?
Certainly in Adrian's stop sign which I think was white on a bright red background the red was rendered as good as black.
The one thing in the video that I think was based on fact was his summary of what Ferrania has to say about the dos and don'ts with P30It was clear that Ferrania recommends home developing rather than using a lab. He assumed it was because of the danger of ripping but didn't make clear, assuming this was Ferrania's reason, what it is about the film that renders it more susceptible to ripping
What struck me after reading Adrian's report is that what Ferrania may be equally concerned about as well as ripping is that labs use, in the main, continuous agitation and the effect this may have on contrast.
