I sure wish this information was made available earlier but... better late than never! Also, I find it hard to believe that P30 has more red sensitivity than P33...according to the spectral response graphs. Thanks for sharing, Alessandro!

the author of this PDF is Felix Bielser, owner of a photographic store in Milan (PFG http://www.puntofoto.it/).

This person may have made a perfectly accurate test of the sensitometric data but as the owner of a photographic store in Milan isn't saying it is official data somewhat misleading?Doesn't the official data have to come from Ferrania to be official?

I wonder how we reconcile this data with Andrew O'Neill's findings from which he expresses surprise that P30 has more red sensitivity than P33 as per the official data ? From what I remember of his videos on both films his findings didn't seem to bear out the "official" data

I really cannot trust the spectral graphs, especially after seeing all the P30 images posted over the years showing an obvious de-sensitisation to red. I trust the characteristic curve, though. P30 does have a long toe, long, steep straight section, as shown by aparat's curves: (https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/slow-and-steady-ferrania-p30-ilford-pan-f-plus-etc.196266/)
