Hello APUG from FILM Ferrania (PART 2)

railwayman3 · Dec 2, 2015

Yes, it would be a pain if E6 disappeared. I've just been checking through pics taken on a recent holiday....the E6 are all there ready to view, whether good, bad or indifferent. But I've spent an evening just sorting through and scanning the C41 shots, then fiddling-around to get the better of them printed to my satisfaction.

ME Super · Dec 2, 2015

Agreed. But don't tell anyone I'm considering shooting the family Christmas on C-41 this year. Not because I'm abandoning E-6, but because C-41 gives me the ability to tweak white balance after the fact (notice I said tweak, not fix LOL - hopefully anyway). I want to do some Christmas photos in available light instead of using electronic flash. Sadly, I'll probably be using a verboten-on-APUG method to do the tweaking as I don't have a darkroom, equipment, or skills to do it the analog way.

You could also use Dead Link Removed for shooting indoors without flash.

I was just checking the Film Farrania news blog and I noticed a recent update on their progress. Dead Link Removed

Now it's a "matter of weeks" for them to announce next steps. I'm so stoked.

I've thought about that, but I have daylight LED bulbs in the kitchen. Thinking about replacing the ones in the room the tree is in with daylight LED bulbs too, which would let me shoot daylight balanced film.

Perhaps, David suggest Ferrania film is Making Comeback.?

Summer 2016?

Yeah, I don't recall using the word "comeback" in my response to the author's questions, but the rest, for better or worse, is printed pretty much word for word.

Good eye Derek!

That post expands on the update we sent to our Kickstarter backers a couple of weeks ago.

There are still some contractors finishing up random things (like the fence around the building), but we expect them all to be finished well before the Christmas holiday.

The team in Italy is spending this time trying to figure out an accurate and deliverable timeline for production...

Go Ferrania. Can't wait for my rolls of 16mm!

Black Dog · Dec 9, 2015

Thanks for the updates!

I just got the slides back from an old roll of Kodak EliteChrome 100. Great stuff and I'm sad we lost it.

I can't wait to get some new, fresh Ferrania Chrome 100 in the very near future!!

I'm looking forward to some fresh Ferrania Chrome 100 soon too. In the meantime, there are high quality reversal films available from Fuji. And also an AgfaPhoto reversal film too, it appears to be rebranded Provia 100F.

There's a new treat every day. I just unlocked today's treat about an hour ago.

My lips are sealed about the other 6 Treats - but there will be a few that could be of great interest to the APUG community...

I'm just saying... Maybe you want to sign up?

You mean like pedantic arguments?

Just kidding.

I signed up yesterday, and now have all the wallpapers

Hey - you said it, not me!

Treat #4 was just unlocked...

I like today's treat. Waiting for the drawing...

Hey David,
I loved the video of the factory. That really puts all the hard work into perspective.

Which video was that?
Was it the one of them installing the transformer?

I'll pass on your kudos to Nicola! And we've got some more footage to post to our site in a bit of a "2015 Retrospective" that we're working on right now.

Sweet, looking forward to view!

Cant wait for production to start, i know it cant be far away now!

Hey David,
In years past, Ilford has done a "ULF" run where they do special runs of film (for example, bulk 46mm wide film suitable for rolling 127 film), or film sizes larger than 8x10. Any chance of Ferrania doing something like that for your color films, once you guys are up and running? I realize you'd be limited on how wide you could go due to the use of the research coater, so probably no 11x14 or larger, but special once-a-year runs of color roll fims might have a market.

Black Dog · Jan 9, 2016

Scotch 640 T...wow that was good stuff!

TheToadMen · Jan 14, 2016

This Ferrania camera was for sale in a local auction today:

~ TLR 6x6 Ferrania Elioflex with an Officine Galileo "Monog" lens 85/8 (from 1950?) ~

It went for Euro 60 so I didn't put in a bid. But it would have been fun though, to load such an old Ferrania camera with new Ferrania film and shoot it.

skorpiius · Jan 14, 2016

That would be very cool to run new Ferrania film through, as you mentioned.

It's also interesting to me, as although I was aware of pseudo-TLRs such as a Brownie Hawkeye where both lenses are infinity focus, I didn't realize there existed pseudo-TLRs where the taking lens is focusable, but the viewing lense is infinity focus, not helping you focus at all!

AgX · Jan 15, 2016

Popular Photography Magazin called it a TLR. And likely the one who spent 60€ for it thought so too...
