Oh no! Yet another b&w film...

[pentaxuser]

From Astrum web site, have no idea what they are talking about. Are they selling Kodak aerial film?

I don't wish to sound cynical but my reaction to your statement is a question: Are we meant to know what they are talking about? I rather
feel we are not a seems so often to be the case.

I've no idea either. Let me ask Dmitry if he can share the datasheet for Astrum's aerial films.

@Paul Howell, @Alessandro Serrao: Here are the datasheets for Astrum's aerial films. Make what you will.

Please have a look at the label on the clear plastic envelope. Made in Italy...
I have a vague idea of who can manufacture the film...

Does Italy have restrictions as to how much of the product has to be made (vs assembled) in the country to qualify for the 'Made in Italy' moniker?

Apart from that, I don't think there are other film manufacturers in Italy other than Ferrania, whatever it's producing...
However it's at least 51% done in Italy...

Here's another source: http://www.puntofoto.it/public/news/136.pdf
There's clearly written: prodotto in Italia

As a side note, in Germany there is not even generic legislation on this issue. Here at best one could consider jurisdiction, that speaks of essential parts.
A similar issue is the term manufacturer. Just think of complete tollproduction.

Fantastic result, thanks.

Ok, shot two rolls of Delta 3200

Rated at ISO 1000, but developed as iSO 3200 (I used temp of 90 instead of 75 in Cinestill DF96 Monobath, everything else the same)



Rated at ISO 1000, developed as ISO 1000:

Huss has your#58 landed in the wrong thread?

[AgX]

It refers to post #33.

 

[Huss]

Thanks AgX, yes it refers to a question posed about how to develop Delta 3200. Or more to the point, how it performs under different developing conditions.
I know that this is now a digression from this thread, but it really is a curious film. Rated on the box at 3200, but it's 'natural' ISO is 1000. But pushing it at that rating results in finer grain etc etc

Somewhere in the ferrania discussion, it was mentioned that their contractor for some of the packaging of P30 was a firm in Italy who had not previously made film, but had obtained a machine to package 135 from somewhere in Germany. packaging any film would likely meet the 51% of value added in the country where the work took place.

mind you, Ferrania did make a 640T slide film at one time, and so it is theoretically possible that they could make a 640 B&W film.

I take it that no-one on this thread at least if not on Photrio has tried this film?

@Huss excellent images. I've been to both locations dozens of times and nothing comparable came out. I am particularly impressed by the Palace of Fine Arts image. It's such a picturesque place yet it been extremely challenging for me. And you managed to find a moment without people in it!

Thanks Gregg! With the PoFA, I think it was just a matter of waiting until no-one was in frame! I also think it was early morning so not many were out yet.
