FILM Ferrania’s P30 black-and-white film has been made available to several film retailers across Europe.
The film, which was reformulated after an Alpha version was released in 2017, is now being sold by a clutch of film sellers in Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and the UK.
FILM Ferrania announced the rollout on Thursday (16 January).
The release follows a limited trial in Italy and a rolling out in the US late last year.
The new P30 is available from:
Maco Direct
Ars-Imago
Foto R3
Analogue Wonderland
Punto Foto Group
FILM Ferrania, based near the Italian city of Genoa, is a start-up producing film using the old R&D testing lab for Ferrania, once one of Europe’s largest film producer. The Ferrania factory stopped making film in 2009.
It crowdfunded through a Kickstarter in 2013, initially intending to produce a new version of Ferrania’s Chrome 100 colour slide film. But production problems meant the start-up switched to reinstating P30, based on an 80-ISO cinema film it produced in the 1960s.
I'm a New Zealander who has been living in London since the mid-1990s, shooting film seriously since the year 2000. Kosmo Foto was launched in 2012 and has since become a film brand, with the release of my first films Kosmo Foto Mono 35mm (2017) and Kosmo Foto Mono 120 (2019).
I’m doing everything I can to promote film photography in the 21st Century, and help it survive and thrive. If you want to write something for Kosmo Foto, please drop me a line at foto.dowling@gmail.com.
