P30
Ferrania P30 embodies a timeless aesthetic reminiscent of the film stocks favored by renowned Italian filmmakers during the mid-20th century. With its abundant silver content, this film delivers strikingly high-contrast images accompanied by virtually imperceptible grain. Perfectly suited for outdoor environments bathed in natural light and indoor settings with supplementary lighting, P30's 80 ISO exposure index provides flexibility and versatility.
It comes as no surprise that legendary Italian directors like Pier Paolo Pasolini, Vittorio De Sica, Roberto Rossellini, and Federico Fellini chose P30 to create their most iconic films. The popularity of P30's look in cinema was so immense that in 1958, a special version was specifically developed for still photography.

P30 Best Practices
SHOOT P30 AT 80 ISO
We understand that modern films are very flexible, but P30 is based on a classic chemical formula that responds best when shot at the listed ISO of 80.
MAKE YOUR OWN SCANS
Our films are unique compared to most modern films. As a result, we have found that typical lab scanningcanyield blocked-up hyper-contrasty images. If this happens to you, try scanning the negatives yourself for better results.
ENJOY IT
Our films are created to be enjoyed, not analyzed. For that reason, feel free to ignore the "rules" and do whatever you like. Share your results with us and if you have questions or comments, we are always available by email.

Development Guide
As with most black and white films, there are literally thousands of ways to process Ferrania P30 successfully. Please understand that this is not a classic data sheet or dev chart, but a collection of best practices collected from users' feedback, and so it is subject to users' personal and evaluative tastes.
