If you are talking about the links I provided in post #803, I am sorry to hear the links don't open for you. Those pages are on SmugMug, and as far as I know, they should not require anything special to view(?) I will investigate.

Those pages are on SmugMug, and as far as I know, they should not require anything special to view(?) I will investigate.I have to shoot this film at an EI of 32 to get half decent shadows. Developed in Pyrocat-HD. Box speed left your shadows empty, as it did me. I can't see your other results, as apparently my browser isn't new enough...
Dr5 says it reverses with their method really well.How does the Ferrania P30 reverse?

I tried it with the Roba Apposta kit and unfortunately it came out almost completely black. It was my only failure, I used the kit with various other films with great results.How does the Ferrania P30 reverse?
Could you please read the other discussions about Ferrania, thanks...Ferrania have promised free (B&W) film for contributors, then a price reduction, then nothing for months. I'm not demanding anything for nothing, but would just like normal business-like
courtesy and communication ?
Ferreania just don't care any more....it all seems to have now become a bit of a con, IMHO. At least plenty of quality, established. films are still readily available, usually at lower prices, and these also don't need hours of experimention to get a usable result.
As a Kickstarter contributor, it would be really nice to even be offered an opportunity to actually try this film !

You can buy online at puntofoto.euFerrania P30 is impossible to buy in Italy. Nobody carries it.

This is interesting. Why it came out dark?I tried it with the Roba Apposta kit and unfortunately it came out almost completely black. It was my only failure, I used the kit with various other films with great results.
This pandemic has messed up supply chain for everyone.
It's there, if you look for it... and more will be on the way. This pandemic has messed up supply chain for everyone.

a film that isn't specifically designed to be reversed rarely gives best results when invertedMore than underdeveloped I think it was underexposed, as I did lengthen the first dev quite a bit. IIRC I did it a EI80 but probably around 16 or 25 would have been better. I only discovered afterwards that, for example, the recommended dr5 iso is 16. But then I had no more film to play with! I can dig the results and my notes if anybody is interested.
Edited to add: I think this film would make a terrific super8 low speed fine grain reversal, I hope to get it in this format one day.

Nope, since those are dr5.com claims and I have not been able to verify them by eye.Don't the results from the DR5 process contradict your assertion, where the majority of b&w films reverse well?
Then good to you.Ahhh sweeping generalities made with a lack of information is ok?
My eyes tell me, for example, Ilford HP5+ and Bergger Pancro reverse well by the dr5 process.
By what process? To tell us that gives the world useful information. Where as sweeping generalities do not.Then good to you.
My experience (not with dr5.com) tells other things.
That is: a film that isn't specifically designed to be reversed rarely gives best results when inverted.
The process is the Foma reversal kit, the only chemistry I use because it's cheap, very long lasting and reliable.By what process? To tell us that gives the world useful information. Where as sweeping generalities do not.
Which films not designed for reversal, if any, gave you good results?
Thanks for the information. It is good to know because I have a Foma kit on my shelf I've been waiting to try out. It looks like film and process have to be matched.The process is the Foma reversal kit, the only chemistry I use because it's cheap, very long lasting and reliable.
Only films designed to be reversed gave excellent results: namely Foma R 100, Adox Scala 160 and Adox Scala 50.
Other films gave only acceptable results (all regular Fomas - which dr5.com can't reverse at all, Rollei Retro 80, Rollei Superpan 200), some gave unacceptable results (all Ilfords, Rollei Retro 100 tonal, Agfa Apx 100).
Sure the kit is optimized for Foma R 100, following it to the letter you'll have fantastic slides. Even after opened for 4 years the kit still works! It's unbelievable.Thanks for the information.
