I'm setting my hopes on the upraising of Ferrania's E-6 production. P30 will be the wheelbarrow for that.
TomB, I hope P30 can be a nice alternative for b&w and results turn out well for you. Please show us some pics in this or the b&w film thread.
I was happy to see Rollei (Maco) getting E-6 Vario Chrome on the market but it appears a bit of a bummer. Low contrast, muted 70ies colors and quick burning of the highlights was one of the verdicts I read on the net. I don't mind that if I know such things in front. And E-6 is never forgiving for highlights if you meter for the shadows, low dynamic range is normal for sure.
Rollei once brought old (Agfa) CR200 E-6 stock on the market which resulted in many rolls for me with orange to almost red pics when shot on EI200. We certainly are in need of a real Fuji E-6 competitor. Although I don't think anyone can make the same sort of magical film like Fuji's Provia 400X. So high hopes on Kodak when they will reintroduce Ektachrome.
