Matthew Modget Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I know this has already been mentioned on other threads but I thought it warrants its own on the Super 8 one. You can pre-order 3 rolls of the new (as yet un-produced) Super 8 film from Ferrania by pledging on their KickStarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/filmferrania/100-more-years-of-analog-film The only downside is that 3 rolls is the maximum you can get at the moment as KickStarter limits you to one pledge. As much as I love the latitude of Vision3, I'd love to start shooting weddings on reversal stock again and this looks like the best bet for the future. They've even talked about their hopes for producing a 400 ISO and a 800/3200 ISO film in the future too, they need our support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Absolutely... even if it's not as good as E100D, Velvia 50/100 or Provia 100F... but is significantly better than 200D (terrible), I would definitely go back to outdoor weddings on reversal!

Anthony Schilling Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I wonder if they are doing any reformulations or improvements with the Scotch-chrome? Or do they plan to reproduce the existing formula at first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think minor improvements, but possibly only for production cost/waste/ease reasons. I'd be happy with the original quality... looks acceptable to me: http://www.labeauratoire.com/film/scotch/scotch.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Although I did here they've had some ex-Kodak scientists form the chrome division in there for some consulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Leutger Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I did the movie pack of one Super 8 and one 16mm......glad to see that these guys should make it pretty easily..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will interesting indeed to see how it compares with these emulsions. Have just pledged for some Ferrania 16mm. Personally, I rather like the Avichrome 200D in 16, nice colour and general appearance.... but yes rather grainy for many subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Palmer Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Has anyone here any experience using this Scotch 100 stock when it was last available as a still film a few years ago? How did it compare with Ektachrome then ? I've never used it, can only remember the 1980s 1000 Scotchchrome with the Golfball Grain :lol: presumably quite different stuff.

David Cunningham Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Never used it, but from what I can find via Google, it looks pretty nice: https://flic.kr/p/doJ5mV Edited October 6, 2014 by David Cunningham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heikki Repo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Apparently RMS granularity of this film is 13, while AGFA 200 is 12 and Fujichrome Provia 400-X is 11, so do not expect it to be Vision3 50D. However, one thing to note: someone asked Ferrania on Twitter if they are going to do something about the grain. Their answer? Yes, it'll be the first improvement.

Geoff Howell Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 even more grain than the dreaded Aviphot :blink: I really hope they can do something quite drastic to bring that down quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andries Molenaar Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There is no point in bringing up images or experiences from 30 years ago. Just wait for the first production and see what advances were achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Schilling Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It would be nice if they could just formulate something awesome that looked like Velvia or E100D but a little lower con like VNF something that looks great projecting but scans pretty ok too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Leutger Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 That's a wrap. Now with 17 days to go we'll see how much they get. This is a good sign to them that there is interest and notice of what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted October 13, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'd love to get some 35mm 100' rolls for the Eyemo. Should be fairly easy for them to produce that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Jeremy Cavanagh Posted October 13, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2014 My only worry now is that Ferannia doesn't get themselves into a production bind or financial bind with the promise of film to contributors.

They calculated for all of that. $200,000 was what they needed to re-open the plant. Everything else is to produce, package & ship to contributors.

Why would you think that. Better check their website and see how things are faring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kickstarter prices aren't the future retail prices. The films are a reward for the supporters. Much of the pledged money-amount is to be used to get things started.

Much of the pledged money-amount is to be used to get things started. I'm sure that's true but I doubt they could sell it for much less once production is up and running. It will be great to see if they can actually make the business side work and how they go about pricing. Too little and they'll have to close down. Too much and they alienate customers. I have a feeling it will have to be more than we'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
