I am fascinated by the rapid rise of Italian photo company
Ferrania.
They've been here since at least the early 60s, making
printing paper I
used as a 15 year old, but now they make the house-brand
35mm lotsa
drugstores (excuse me, pharmacies, gotta be PC) sell as
their own.
Cheap, by the case, too. I pay ~ 65 cents a 24 exp
roll...
What about 6x6cm? I dunno.... I've heard Russians like
the format...
What film do they shoot? Anyone want to import it?
I don't remember the Ferrania history in detail but
think its a very old company. I have no idea of the quality
of their products or what names they might be found under.
I think there is still a large enough market for
chemical photography products to support several companies.
Even though it has shrunk considerably it was such a
tremendous market to begin with that there what remains is
still very large. Perhaps this is just wishful thinking but
I rather think the move to digital has about spent itself.
