35mm BW Film - Film Ferrania P30 (1 Roll)
Film Ferrania P30
1 Roll / 35mm / 36 exp / ISO 80 / DX Coded / Process: Standard BW
Each roll features a very high silver content to create a high-contrast film with almost no visible grain. Shadows are deep and rich. Highlights are punchy and sharp.
USING P30 - THE BASICS
1. DX Coded
The ISO will automatically be set in automatic cameras. Cameras with no manual ISO setting will most likely default to ISO 100 which will give you usable results.
2. Shoot at 80 ISO
We firmly recommend shooting this film at the box speed of 80 ISO. (#ShootBoxSpeed)
3. Hand processing is best
P30 is a unique film, and we have found hands-on processing to yield the most consistent results. Listed below are developers and techniques we recommend for a small tank environment.
4. Lab processing is ok, too
Any commercial lab, like https://thedarkroom.com/ can develop/scan P30Film Ferrania
