I remember E-4 Ektachrome being bluish and E-4 Fujichrome having overdone colors. I preferred Fuji over Ekta. But I thought the class act in E-4 was Agfachrome. Natural colors, well balanced. Creamy whites.
I've recently mistaken some of my Agfachrome slides for Kodachrome-- their color has held up very well. My E-4 Fujichrome has been fading- mainly yellow, making the famous Fuji greens look muddy. I only bought E-4 films when I was too broke to afford Kodachrome, (around half the cost, with processing) and for that used Agfachrome after I 'discovered' it. The only thing I didn't like was its graininess, but back then nothing compared to Kodachrome in that regard, especially K25.
I'l try the Ferrania if it comes out. I don't know how the last E-6 films were from them as I never tried them.
Yes Agfachromes were way better than Kodak E3/4 but it was their own process and quite different to E3/4, and they did eventually switch to E6.

Of all my slides the early Kodachromes have faded the most but then they are the oldest going back to the mid 1950's. KII was a touch better, K25 seem very much better.

I just hope they price it reasonably, it can't compete at the same price as FUJI.
Keep it under $6 USD a roll and I will buy at least 20 rolls a year.
Ferrania has been around for a long time. They made a lot of the house branded color film (both negative and reversal) in the 70s though 90s, although they existed earlier. In Europe, they also distributed film under there own name. I think they were the ones who made 3M's film. Quality was considerably worse than Kodak, but price was a good deal less, too.
Their blog post states it was the Imation version of Scotch Chrome they are basing it on and not the 3M version.
3M owns the name "Scotch"
How's about this.....Ferrania partners with the estate of the late-great Fredrico Fellini, get a re-release of Fellini's films with the reprints done on Ferrania's cine projection stock. While concurrently releasing: Fellinichrome
Posters of Fellini and Ferrania brand abound the streets....
Massive return-to-film-movement starts in Italy and spreads throughout the planet!
There are a few distilleries in Scotland who would argue otherwise!

I really hope they change the name, I don't like "scotch chrome" as a name, it sounds lame, Ferrania should make it something Italian or at least part of their brand, like Ferrachrome100 or something haha
