Yes, if you look back through this thread you will see some comments. This was developed in Beerenol, shot at ISO 25.
The Recipe:
Beer (cheap Lager, I used Pabst Blue Ribbon) - 12oz
Sodium Carbonate (Arm & Hammer Washing Soda) - 2.75 Tsp
Ascorbic Acid Powder (Vitamin C) - 1.25 Tsp
Salt (Morton's Iodized Table Salt) - 1/4 Tsp
Developed at 20 degrees C for 20 minutes. Agitate first 30 seconds then 15 seconds every minute.
Warning - Add the Ascorbic Acid after the Sodium Carbonate to avoid a foam explosion.

If your talking about the alcohol I used to develop the film I am not currently being pursued by the ATF. If you're referring to the motorcycle in the photo it was burned in the recent Napa, CA wildfire.Is this the result from a little conflict with
ATF agends?
By the time : Does anybody know if P30 is still avaible - or let me ask : how long does it last if we are allowed to order this film?
with regards
That would be good news, no matter whether will I like the film someday or not. I had a feeling that we would never hear from Ferrania again and the P30 alpha would be the swansong of a tragic story. But I would be glad to be wrong. Now we can hope for the beta?They are making more P30 right now to try to keep up with demand but I don't think there is any available right now. I think they intend to continue making it.

There hasn't been any P30 for months and there is no indication that they are currently making any. They may intend to make it, and if it becomes readily available in quantity, I will certainly give it a try. The idea of being limited to a couple of rolls and then waiting months for delivery as with the last offer does not interest me in the least. Why waste time testing it if you can't get it in quantity?They are making more P30 right now to try to keep up with demand but I don't think there is any available right now.

Normal doesn't mean necessary. Or productive. Or relevant.
Yes, it's such a shame that we are busy trying to figure out how to make enough film to meet demand that we don't have time to post useless updates that no one reads.
It was over in the "Hello from Film Ferrania" thread. Not a big deal, just mentioning he was trying to get Nicola to make another video because it seems clear that few people read the written updates.Can you please post a link?
This could be big news...
It strongly implies that Mr Baldini is very much involved.This doesn't imply that Baldini left Ferrania thou...

David instead/although of Kodak HC110 dillution B,
instead of the nice P30 characteristic, instead the tonal range a.s.o.
This is the point one have to say :
"This are ALSO nice pictures with contemplative atmosphere and nice framing"
with regards
FWIW, TheDarkroom.com (A photrio sponsor) soups this stuff in DD-X (1+4) at 75°F(!) for 10.5 minutes. Looking at the results from my first roll, I'll probably be rating it at EI 50 going forward.

Thanks Scott! Beautiful shots!I counter with a couple frames of Bologna, but @ 25 asa in Beutler.
I will mix some d96 and try my next rolls with that. When I did my first tests I used what I had on hand (Rodinal), but I'm now convinced P30 does not work well at all with developers like Rodinal or Beutler. There always seems to have a huge speed loss. I did some tests in Rodinal and @80 with the given time (14min) the film seems very underexposed and overdeveloped. I got good results with 10 minutes @ 25 iso. Anybody has an idea why this happens?
In any case I love this film, I hope I can use it a full box speed when it comes back.

How long does it really take to provide periodic updates? For example, how long would it take to write:We know people don't like when we go silent, but the simple fact is that if we're going to make everyone happy in the long run, we have to risk making a few people unhappy in the short term... It's simply a matter of using our time in the best possible way to achieve our goals - and those goals are, quite simply, to make our customers happy.
Reversal processing?We have sent some scrap materials for testing P30 in Super 8 cartridges and the early reports are very very good!
We are planning to have a very limited initial batch of P30 in 120 format in Feb/Mar, with more to come after that.
