Plus 1 on the Portra I shoot a lot of both 400 and 160 medium format it is sublime. It never ceases to amaze me. Like you say it's not just for portraits. I did a bunch of spring tulips etc. A few years back printed a bunch of 8x10s from 6x7 negatives, stunning natural color.Well "professional" films not only had different storage requirements/shelf life, but most have different qualities, for example portra is designed for portrait photography, enhancing skin tones etc. In saying that, i love it for regular everyday shooting, and you can tell a noticeable difference in colour and grain with my scans when compared to regular kodak max or kodak gold for example. Of course this does not mean that a film is crap at all if its not a "professional" film.
Either way, i will be treating all Ferrania films as "professional" films that come out of the LRF, and I am excited to see what we will have available to shoot in the future
EDIT: Scotchchrome was marketed as IMATION here in Australia. It disappeared completely around 2001.
3M decided to spin off their Media businesses, (film and Magnetic tape, and diskettes) as IMATION. I did get some film at the time with Imation edge printing. shortly thereafter, the film business at the Italian Plant was sold to a venture capital firm, who brought back the Ferrania name, while concentrating on the colour Negative and private label business. Any R&D was likly on the C-41 products, although the lessons learned could likly be useful as the E6 products are brought online.
I saw and used a floppy disk (Imation-branded), big or small.
If you check the Kickstarter updates, you'll see that Dead Link Removed. You do it through your Kickstarter account.
At some point, we'll pull the backer database from Kickstarter and we'll email every backer individually to ensure that we have the right address - but it's best that you keep it updated on Kickstarter.
Did they? All of them? Hook, line and sinker?
Around the world long-established analogue pros occupy a niche in a market over-saturated with patent digital crap. Hell knows how many actually use negative vs slide or slide vs negative or both.
No reason for amateurs to angle for professional-grade film (and in doing so, add to the Carp Pile) if they have no idea or no care how to expose it precisely to obtain the maximum benefit from it. This applies to the long-defunct pro-packaged Kodachrome 64 and 200 emulsions, as much as the Ektachromes and up to the present-day Fujichrome stocks. Most photographers would be doing themselves a favour by sticking with negative film instead of carping on the web about how slide film stuff up their day. To me, slide film makes my day!

What were some of the common rebrands of Ferrania film, negative (as well as reversal if any) that might be readily found online?
And yes, Solaris was considered a "consumer" product.
It's probably now a good time to point out that we think these distinctions are antiquated and really just pointless.

Our films will be the best we can produce at all times. You can't really call it "pro" because pros only rarely shoot film these days. And you certainly can't call it "consumer" because that market was swallowed by smartphones. I'm generalizing, of course, but this is the reality as we see it.
I know that our factory team is eager to put Ferrania's consumer-focused past behind us and to show off what they can really do...
Thanks. I've done a few searches and found that Clark and Kroger are also common rebrands here in the states. I do like Lomo 100, but mine is more recent and apparently rebadged Kodak made in the US.Lomography color negative 400, 800, 200, and 100; if it says "made in Italy"

And some professionals as well.APUG is filled with amateurs
And some professionals as well.
I wasn't talking about me. I'm very glad to be an amateur.Oh, sorry, Mr. Professional Photographer, i'm sorry i offended you.
You are really a "tough nut to crack"...

As for slide film, it seems that you are seeing (color) negative film as inferior? Then would you please instruct me on how to do really good prints from (color) slides, in the analog domain, in year 2016. Yes, i do love slides as well, but negatives have their place too.
Yes Flavio, I know and can appreciate that it is very difficult and frustrating, it not impossible for people who want to be involved in colour printing cannot do so for want of the facility and/or chemicals, or the cost. I do not know what the situation is in South America (a country I would love to visit!!). Around the world, wouldn't it be true that RA4 printing is still done by people in home darkrooms?
a reversal e6 film of lower contrast which is specially matched to print correctly on "reversed" RA4.
We've been wishing for this since Nelson lost his outboard!!
I wonder if the E6 processing times or developer dilutions can be altered for achieving this lower contrast. Basically the target is exactly the same contrast as a negative film.
Another possibility: FerraniaChrome "per ingranditori" (for enlargers) in 8x10" (or bigger) film sheets that can be processed in E6 process, paper ISO speed, and thus allow you to enlarge a regular slide into a BIG transparency. Mount on a light box and the results will be fantastic. I think Kodak made such a thing.
Well, lately i've been impressed by the amount of things that are possible, have been tried before, but are not well known. For example the use of salt as a fixer, or making a bw reversal bleach by using only h2o2 and citric acid!!If that were so, I strongly suspect it would have been tried by now.
