Film Ferrania: Six Years On

Film  Ferrania has broken Internet silence for the first time since April to say that they have been doing nothing since then.  Fortunately, that nothingness included securing "the resources necessary to finally provide continuous production of P30 film with all processes done in-house."  Lets just say this sounds like great news, and soon by Fall, one could hear of sales of P30 again.

Your blogger secured some samples of P30 from the online shop many a month ago, and having more to experiment with would be welcome.

Hopefully, having production of P30 will allow them to experiment to create the E6 slide film promised back in 2014....

FPP: Giant Film Database

The podcasters at Film Photography Podcast recently disclosed the existence of a giant film database, a searchable list of film products for virtually any film made.  Called the Giant Film Database, it resides off an industrial products website.  Search for film, such as Konica Impresa, Agfa Vista, Kodak Plus-X, etc., etc. or enter the six digit DX code from a film canister, such as 017530 .

Hopefully, the project will find a permanent home somewhere.  This is a worthy project!

Raymond says of the camera, "It’s a wonderful, affordable and lightweight instant camera to have laying or hanging around."
