Thanks Dave!! Happy holidays to you and to the brave team at the Ferrania facilities!
Despite the recent burst of tongue-in-cheek posts, I am still watching and listening...
If I haven't mentioned it yet - THANK YOU for all the great questions, suggestions, tangents, good sense, and even the utter nonsense!
I'll be semi-officially checked out from Dec 21 until Jan 2 - but I'll probably lurk a bit if I get bored...
If you celebrate the season in any way - have a great one!
-Dave

No I am both serious and sirius about not wanting to wasting Ferrania's time with an obsolete, costly to manufacture and difficult to process slide film the is inferior to Kodak Ektachrome and Fujichrome. There is no future for Kodachrome.
I agree with your opinion on you-know-which film. I'm also serious and tried to help the Anti-K14-Brigade (of which I am a proud member) by means of a tonge-in-cheek post.
I'm puzzled that nobody has mentioned this yet: Will ferrania bring back Kodachrome 25? Because we need this film and nothing was worse in history of photography than losing that film. It gave us those nice bright colors, the greens of summer. It made us think the world was a sunny day. It made us think that a masochistic 14-step development process which involved critical reexposure to different colors and included waiting 1 month for getting your film back was somehow acceptable. Everything looks worse in black and white.
I'm puzzled that nobody has mentioned this yet. So will ferrania bring back Kodachrome 40? And how about Kodachrome 64? It gave us those nice bright colors, the greens of summer. It made us think the world was a sunny day. Or Kodachrome 200... Yes, it was grainy, but it had nice colors, the greens of summer. It made us think the world was a moderately-sunny day. So what are Ferrania's plans regarding Kodachrome?
I'm puzzled that nobody has mentioned this yet. So let's hope that Ferrania confirms that the factory is resurrecting Kodachrome 25 in 818, APS, Minox, subminiature-16mm, and 620 formats please. Along with 8x10" glass plates and their new Infrared version of Kodachrome.
*facepalm*
Just a question regarding the postcards, should we expect them to arrive before Christmas?
For USA residents, anything ordered before Friday will make it before Christmas, no problem.

Ignore my last post - I figured out you were talking about the "Postcards from Italy" Kickstarter reward - not the postcard sets we're selling online. (I can be slow sometimes)
We were really hoping everyone would get them pre-Christmas, however, we are concerned at this point. The cards were made here in the US and they have not yet arrived in Italy.
The are pre-addressed and ready to be signed, and Nicola is ready to sign them all and get them out quickly. But we're having a tough time estimating their arrival worldwide.
We're posting an update on Kickstarter about it tomorrow.
I know you know this already but, are you guys going to get in on this?

Our founder Marco Pagni is going through the inventory to see if there is anything we absolutely can't live without - but it seems unlikely we will touch that stuff.

Is there a list that is alphabetical or an excel file for sorting the wall?.....been through it twice now and did not see my name or a good friends name listed either.
Probably deliberately in random order, or perhaps in the order the pledges came in.
Use "find in page" (often Control f) to search for a part of your name.

I wonder how much of a coating run this Kickstarter set will take up
