Ferrania P30 120 Film: Elevate Your Medium Format Game

 

Following the roaring success of Ferrania P30 in 35mm, we present to you Ferrania P30 120 film – a medium format marvel. This exquisite panchromatic ISO 80 B&W emulsion-based film draws inspiration from the mid-20th-century cinema formula, promising high-contrast negatives with barely a hint of visible grain.

Whether you're a seasoned medium format pro or just starting out on your analogue adventure, the new Ferrania P30 120 film is your golden ticket to capturing stunning images bursting with depth and character. Its knack for bringing out deep shadows and sharp highlights ensures that every frame tells a unique and unforgettable story.

 


 

Ferrania Orto 35mm Film: A Nod to Timeless Elegance

 

A loving tribute to the classic orthochromatic style that defined an era. Crafted using the same historic 20th Century cinema formula, this low-light 50 ISO film brings you 36 exposures of pure photographic joy.

What makes Ferrania Orto 35mm a standout? It's all about that high silver content and subtle grain. Together, they work their magic to capture dreamy, atmospheric images bursting with rich contrast and character. Think back to the early days of silent cinema when film stocks were sensitive to blue light – that's orthochromatic in action. Hollywood used cosmetics to "fix" actors' appearances on screen back then. Today, these very "imperfections" are the artistic quirks that give contemporary orthochromatic films their unique charm.
