Keep those questions coming...
More specifically, we have often been led to believe that the banning of certain specific ingredients and chemicals used in the manufacture of older films can sometimes become an insurmountable obstacle to their continued production.
Given that Film Ferrania initially intends to reintroduce an updated transparency film based upon just such an older established product, will (or did) these sorts of concerns impact that product reintroduction?
And what of any subsequent products? Might there be similar concerns and issues with those in the future?
Will you in the future be able to coat wider rolls than with your current small coating machine?
Do you expect that there could be any changes to that initial product between release of the KickStarter rewards version and the eventual available-to-the-public version? Or is the KS version going to be the final current iteration of that product into the foreseeable future? Meaning, when I test my KS reward rolls can I expect to eventually purchase more of the exact same?
(And as an aside, while not privy to the hard data my sense is that 3,237 views for a thread that is merely 24½ hours old may be a new APUG record? Or if not, then close to it?)
But more than that, 8 full pages without going off topic even once is definitely a record around here.
Thanks again to everyone for the welcome messages and best wishes!

Question for anyone else who knows, what are the major advantages of ECN over C41? Surely whatever colour-response can be replicated from one to the other near-enough? There's the RemJet to contend with, I know Cine film needs that for day-loading and heat-resistance, it may not make your local lab happy but it can be removed and they can deal with it easy enough if it's 1000ft at a time. Any other reasons why C41 isn't used for Cine?

FILM Ferrania said:The only things we can clearly state today are what we have already stated in one place or another:
- Formats: 135, 120, Super 8, 16mm - a very limited single batch of 127 is also highly likely
- Emulsions: 100, 400 and 800/3200 ASA color reversal (chrome) - with 100 ASA at launch and the others later in 2015 or as our production capacity permits
The ECN materials (for in-camera exposure, and in-projector presentation) are optimized for each other, in that the in-camera exposure material is contrast optimized for either printing on to the projection material, or scanning for later printing on to the projection material. The in-camera exposure material gives really, really low contrast results if printed on to colour paper.
C41 films are much higher in contrast and are contrast matched to RA4 papers.
In addition, the colour response of the two different types of camera films are tailored to the colour response of the two different types of presentation media.
ECN is also designed with the high speed transportation needs of the in-camera movie film in mind.
Hello APUG users!
My name is Dave Bias and I'm the US Director for FILM Ferrania. As most of you know, we have successfully completed our Kickstarter campaign with an amazing 5582 backers and 128% funding.
To all of you who have contributed to the (very active!) threads here on APUG and to those who are also backers - you have our most sincere thanks.
Again the the Kodachrome! Kodachrome produced muddy skies. The US will ask the British monarchy to take over and Russia with be ruled by a Czar before Kodachrome returns.
Hey, there is something in the air concerning film
Advertising question, will you potentially have some pre-release testers chosen to test out the film's with real world feedback that are not part of FILMferrania? (Beta testers)? Perhaps a contest off the first production run, submissions will be chosen and the winners prize is some film and having their work used on the boxes of product/website? Maybe?
What should we expect the shelf life of this batch of chrome to have, and do you expect that to vary between production runs?
