Ferrania sta tornando.
Inviato: 24/07/2013, 21:30
Qualche tempo fa' lessi una discussione su un altro forum riguardo all fatto che Ferrania stava riprendendo la produzione, nella discussione si veniva invitati anche ad andare sull sito http://www.filmferrania.it ( vi invito ad andare sull sito e sottoscrivere la mailing list!!!) , andai sull sito e mi iscrissi alla loro mailing list. Nell forum interviene anche un tale Nicola Baldini che dovrebbe essere uno dei fautori di questa rinascita.
Oggi ho ricevuto una mail in inglese dalla FERRANIA faccio un riassuunto maccheronico. Di seguito anche la mail originale.
Ferrania sta' riprendendo la produzione anche se riattivare tutti i processi produttivi non e' affatto semplice e alcuni chimici non sono piu' disponibili.
abbiamo lavorato duro e finalmente siamo orgogliosi che il momento sta' arrivando per una nuova produzione di film.
All momento c'e' un progetto che in sei mesi portera alla prima produzione dell primo "Jumbo" di film. E speriamo di iniziare la distribuzione nell primo quadrimestre dell 2014.
La domanda e' che tipo di film??? Pensiamo che sia meglio che i primi due film saranno Ferrania solaris fg100 e scotch chrome 100.
Che formati 110. 120 126. 127. 135 220 etch.. ma per prima introdurremo sull mercato quelli veramente richiesti.
piu dettagli arriveranno!!!

Hello and welcome to this mailing list.
Just a few words to thank everybody who subscribed, although no more than a single brand is shown at the moment on the Ferrania home page.
We think it is worth answering some questions that often arise on the discussion boards we are also following.
As you know, Ferrania discontinued its photographic products some years ago and after that some buildings and equipments were dismantled or sold because the destiny of film seemed to be compromised forever after introduction of digital. Obviously we dream to put the film in a new era where it can live in symbiosis with digital imaging technologies.
After more than one year of work, we are finally trying to start again with a small production of film. But rescaling a production workflow is not an easy process: some chemical products are not available anymore on the market, former Ferrania workers and engineers must be involved again in a completely new production workflow, etc.
We worked a lot on many of the above issues and now we are proud to say that the moment is arrived of really making film.
Right now there is a six month R&D project aiming to produce a first Jumbo of film. If during this period we are able to solve all the remaining technical issues and if the market gives us a reasonable preliminary feedback, we will be ready to go ahead and ship new film in the first quarter of 2014!
Ok, now the question is: what kind of film?
We think it is better to start revamping the very last produced emulsions. The first two that we will make are a color negative film derived from Ferrania Solaris FG-100 Plus (only for still photographs) and a professional color reversal film derived from Scotch Chrome 100.
And which formats?
We have the equipment to finish film in almost all photographic and motion picture formats: 110, 120, 126, 127, 135, 220, Super 8, Double 8, 16mm, 35mm and 70mm but at first we will put on line only the ones that are requested by the market.
More details are coming, please continue to follow us!
Cheers
