Ferrania Italy Kickstarter campaign

It's over the stated goal! This is good news! do you think we could get Paul Simon to write a hit song about Film Ferrania??
 
Congratulations to Nicola and to all at Film Ferrania!
Forza Nicola!
 
It's funded!!!! $3k over already!!!!!
 
And it's important that people continue to pledge, because at the end of the day a small but significant slice of pledges will prove to be uncollectable for a variety reasons. The goal has been met no matter what. But every little extra bit helps.

Ken is right.
At the moment there are
4510 backers
$255,409 USD pledged

They are preparing an update for later today.
 
$259K and counting!
 
$264K! This is amazing! Who knew there were so many film photographers out there, and I'm sure that the amount of backers is only a tiny tenth of a percentage of who/whats out there.
 
Pledged $40, I can shoot the 120 with my 4x5 in a 6x12 back....that ought to give it a good test.
 
There ia a new update with some interesting news. The main ones are:


Here you have it. But, it is better to read the original on the KS project page: Dead Link Removed
 
Someone backed out of a pledge and theres 1 of the numbered rolls left. I cant figure out how to enter two pledges!!

CRAP!! Its gone.
 
Very interesting, I would have guessed that them wanting to save the film base machine was more a "what if" situation, but then again recall that Foma had some problems in getting enough "Clear" base for R100. Ilford and Foma and Filmotec mostly use GREY acetate. and EFKE had to use Poly base for the last few years which is borderline acceptable for 35mm cassettes because of the Light piping, and VERY annoying for movie use as it can only be tape spliced or by using an expensive Ultrasonic splicer. (filmotec uses Poly for their print film, but prints are not generally edited.) so perhaps the supply situation is closer to the bone than we realize. Colour Negative is generally made on a clear base with an AHU layer, but it COULD be made on a grey base.

They are now offering a chance for an official private tour. for 1500 bucks you get your name on one room in th eLRF and get a guided tour so you can see it. Perhaps more tempting is a double up of the "filmburner package" pay 375 US and get a dozen rolls of BOTH 135 and 120. (still don't have one with both still and movie film other than the "collector box")

Anyway, life is never boring.

Out of my 4x 120 rolls, I'm definitely doing at least one in my 6x17. Maybe all of them if it looks good...
 
Fantastico Ferrania, andare avanti!
