Analog Therapy/Film Test: Ferrania P30 ISO 80 – Fujifilm GA645 Professional.
Camera.
A favorite. Consistent and accurate focus and exposure. Perfect for testing film.
The film.
Ferrania P30.
Bought it to try it out. I purposely did not read up on it so I did not know what to expect.
Developed with Cinestill df 96.
Occasion.
Killing time and distracting myself.
Here are the pics with thoughts after.
Thoughts.
This is one of the nicest black and white films I have ever tried.
- Very sharp.
- Pleasing contrast.
- Well controlled grain.
- Not that surprising for ISO 80 film, but as good or better than other low ISO B&W films I have tried.
- Good dynamic range.
The only ding, if I had to provide one, would be the price. The price is fine for special occasions. I would really like to try this film for portraits, though it might actually be a bit too contrasty for that. The goal would need to be drama. However, for everyday use, I would opt for something less expensive, such as CatLABS X-Film.
I wil definitely be using it again.
Welp. That about covers it.
Happy capturing.
