I just saw the same on Instagram and came here to inform y'all.

Good news. Hopefully this is a sign that P30 and P33 production will resume in full soon.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Can't wait to test it myself...

Great news to start a Monday with!

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Me want sheet film!

P30 was nice but I really liked P33 a lot when it was briefly available, so I do hope they resume regular production of it. That was nice stuff.

I’m very curious about P33. The examples on Flickr compare favorably with Fp4.

Awesome news indeed and its promising to see more chemists hired again too, this is a good sign of more things to come.

You can't tell too much from scanned/edited/presented online images but here are some of the pictures I took with it when it was available.

Looks like you nailed the exposure. I’d like to try some when it’s available.

You can tell much from film scans if you know what to look for.

I was mesmerised by some of your P33 scans I saw on flickr years ago, in fact your work motivated me to try that film out.

I got exactly what I was expecting from my rolls, and much of what struck me about this film was immediately noticeable from your Flickr work.

So thank you!

thank you! that's very kind. I'm hoping we get to have a regular supply of it!

@qqphot were those images exposed at box speed?

Yes - exposed at 160, I'm pretty confident in meter and shutter calibration, within reason at least. I ended up developing most of them in TMax developer (it's just what I always have around) at a mostly guesstimated 1+4 dilution, 6:15 at 20C. The negatives look pretty ok, I guess.

Box speed in a two-bath developer like Barry Thornton and the tones are stunning.

Just got an email that Ferrania P33 (135) is back in stock at Macodirect.

Can't wait for the Ferrania webshop.

It's up on their site! Hoping that it comes soon here.


Relatedly, I stopped by my local lab a couple days ago, and they finally had some of the new P30 in stock. At the old price too. New box looks nice and it came labeled with an expiry date of 10/26, which I suppose means a production date of October 2025. Will run through this roll once I'm finished with the film currently in my Contax.
