Film Ferrania announces their intention to produce 127 film

As reported by Kosmo Foto, Film Ferrania cofounder Nicola Baldini indicated, in a response to a March 6 post on the Facebook 127 Film Shooters Group that the company intends to begin production of 127 film!

In a July 7, 2020 blog post, Film Ferrania announced that their P30 film was in production in 120 format.

In 2015, Ferrania spokesperson Dave Bias indicated that the company has "the capability (machines and knowledge) to produce 127 film”, which he described as "high on the 'wish list'.” In the March 6 Facebook post, Baldini said, "127 is the little brother of 120 and as soon we finished to setup of our internal 120 converting line jumping to 127 will be much easier.

Many thanks to Charles J. Katz, Jr. for alerting me to this exciting news!

The Facebook 127 Film Shooters Group is run by Cheyenne Morrison.
