The industry referred to it as "subject Failure"

Yes subject failure was usually where you had a subject in a predominant colour which caused over correction in the final print. The classic example is Santa Clause sitting in a red grotto. His white beard (and everyone else) will have a cyan cast.

Back in the day machine printers (before software) had limited electronics to calculate exposure and colour correction. Negatives (density and colour) that were under or over exposure by up to 2 stops were controlled by printer slope, which could be set by using a bulls eye (Sherly control negative) and a printer ring a round.

If you are scanning these negatives yourself and use Silverfast Ai, try the medicine dropper tool. Place the neutral grey symbol on the asphalt street. The adjustment may fix most of the colors on that frame.

OK thanks, I was getting these scanned at the lab, so perhaps its just the way their scanner is handling it?

I dont have a suitable flatbed scanner to scan these with, but will try and get a photo taken on white paper for you.

Don't use a scanner. Use a blank computer screen or a window with something featureless behind it as a backlight.
For a blank screen, blank.org works great

There was another one in german about BMW:

BMW = "Besser Mercedes Wählen"

(It's better to choose mercedes)

Also, for FIAT: "For Italians, Adequate Technology"

We used to say in Britain that because so many criminals drove B.M.W's because they had small steering wheels, and we're easy to drive in handcuffs

In the 1980s the UK nickname for BMW 3-series was "the Bavarian coffin" as they were rumoured to be unstable in high wind. My dad went through two such vehicles, never did find the top speed of the 320i but it wasn't maxing out at 130mph....he liked that car.

What has this to do with Film Ferrania? I shot a roll of P30 a couple of weeks ago. Lovely stuff when you get the exposure right.

Mods, we now have 2 threads on Ferrania. There was 3 until yesterday or today but the latest 2 were merged. I now serious wonder if it is possible to merge the 2 into 1 so all the info is on one thread. The date of this thread and its title seems to make no sense now

Wow! Over a thousand posts on this now. Does that beat most if not all the famous threads on the forum that must not be mentioned?

every week, I do look at https://usa.filmferrania.com/ which (was) the film Ferrania Shopify store.

the page has changed to say that P30 is now available "Globaly" and leads to a tool at

https://www.filmferrania.com/where-to-buy which lists dealers within a 100 Miles of an entered location.
it also indicates that they will once again have their own online shop "In the new year'

A few of the "Usual Suspects" like Ultrafine, Blue Moon, Freestyle and Film Photography project do show as dealers in North America. They do have a link to ask to be notified if a dealer opens in your local area, which might not be a bad idea every one interested to use

nothing said about 120 it seems

any activity is amazing considering the headwinds. They are actually doing better than orwo.shop at this point.

I’d love then to succeed. But I shoot almost no color in 35mm. I need 120, (sheet film at less than Kodak’s extortionate prices would be fantastic but a pipe dream) but I’m happy if others get 35mm.

Not what I want but surely the truth. How many years already and all they can do is a weak black and white film with spotty production and crazy pricing.

People did better in 1918 with leaky brick buildings and no electricity.

You can only give so much benefit of the doubt over here. How much more do you give them?

Gonna agree with this. At some point you need to say get it together. I'm all for success but ya know, they're still cranking out film for Ukraine and they have a war going on. Get it together Italy.

Why would there be anything about 120?

Film Ferrania have made it VERY clear that they won't even begin to seriously look at 120 until they are sure the 35mm in-house manufacturing and confectioning is working reliably.

@Cholentpot which Ukranian factory is manufacturing film?
