Pentax LX, Ilford Delta 400, probably my K24/2.8 although I'm not sure.



Best wishes, Kris.

Developing mistake aside, these are a really nice bunch of photos. I really like each one, particularly the last.

Thanks for the strokes. The negatives turned out OK, but I was expecting a little more depth, tonality, and snap. (When I know what those terms mean, I will let you know.)

To continue with good ole fashion Analog, these are with my Pentax ME-F, SMC-M40F/2.8 and Ferrania 400....Nothing great, but I was out to test the film more than anything else. I will give the other two rolls the ole college try tomorrow.

Looking good with the Ferrania 400. It looks like you got results that are essentially similar to mine. The 400 seems to have about the same amount of grain and similar color to the 100.

Yes, I noticed that. It also seems more forgiving than the 100 as far as dr goes. But I think that during happy hour the 100 might give ektar 100 a run for the money.

I dunno, "Sitting pretty" looks great to me...

Nice shots Javier. The colour rendition seems to suit your style... What do you think?

Jussi, or anyone else, where can you get this Ferrania film from?

[Nesster]

There's a phone number... I don't know if it still works, you can order them in packs...
Ferrania - Photography
1-800-654-5007


Here's one of my favorite Ferrania shots, with the 400 film, Chinon Dual AF-P 'panorama' camera


There have been times the Ferrania did much better than Kodak Gold (in the same camera, on the same jaunt) and other times it gave ...unique... color I agree the 100 and 400 are very similar, though I look at it as the 100 having more grain than we're used to, from the premium Kodak and Fuji films.

Anyhow, good luck and let us know if the above contact info still works.

Thanks Jussi. I do remember that shot of the bride, it's great!
Not too sure if that phone number will work for me, being from Oz... The website looks interesting. Seemingly no office or distributor down under, but I may aswell try and contact them, perhaps straight to their head office in Italy.

I'll let you know what happens.

cheers,
Jason

Edit: Just sent an email to some of the addresses listed on the site...

?

What I like from it most is that it seems to have very accurate skins tones.

Do ya think?!

The main advantage to using the 100, in my mind over the 400 is that you don't need a ND filter when shooting under bright conditions with some of the vintage gear (1/250s, 1/350, or 1/500 max shutter speed).

As for comparing the 100 with the mainstream product, I think that the unique contrast and color rendition says it all. For many shots, Ferrania simply works much better than film from "K" or "F". (Sometimes surreal is more real than real...)

Look for no-name film made in Italy or the EU.

Yeah, that's a good idea.
So I sent an email to 3 addresses listed on their website for contact. Haven't received a reply yet, but 2 out of 3 emails bounced!

Wow! Javier! You hit the Ferrania "sweet spot" with these! I particularly like the first two. Extraordinary!
