Ferrania P30 has a long and storied history. The most lauded Italian directors of the mid-20th century shot many of their most iconic movies on P30 stock.

The Film Ferrania team has recreated the formula for the modern stills film shooter, achieving a silver-rich 80 ISO B+W 35mm film stock that provides high-contrast negatives with deep, rich shadows, punchy, sharp highlights, and almost no visible grain. It is proudly made in the revived Ferrania factory located the grounds of the original company in Cairo Montenotte, Italy.
