Ferrania Orto embodies the same luxurious qualities as P30, with its high silver content and virtually imperceptible grain. However, it is a completely new product developed using modern chemicals to achieve a classic orthochromatic aesthetic. During the early era of silent cinema, film stocks were sensitive to blue light, known as orthochromatic. Hollywood relied on cosmetics to "correct" the appearance of actors on screen. A century later, the very "imperfections" that troubled our predecessors have become the artistic characteristics that define contemporary orthochromatic films.

Matthew ★★★★★

I’ve been shooting this stock for a few weeks now and the high silver content really delivers a rich tonal range with almost no grain. The orthochromatic sensitivity gives it a unique look that adds character to portraits.

Mia ★★★★★

The contrast on this film is gorgeous, makes mundane street scenes look dramatic. Grain is barely there even when I push it a stop in development.

Daniel X. ★★★★★

The high silver content really shows in the midtones—they transition so smoothly it’s like the film is doing the work for me. I shot a roll of this in mixed daylight and the grain stayed invisible even in the sky areas, which honestly surprised me for a 50-speed stock.
