The Italian Connection

"When in Rome..."
So I bought a Ferrania micro AG.s and discovered that it doesn't fit on my Italian cameras. Bought Sylvania flashbulbs and those are made in the USA, and the cubes in Belgium.
But when the going gets tough, I get trodding through Florence and found Sylvania! WOW!
And some of them still did work. So this post is not about arty expressionistic photography, but about  hope and resignation.
Good for my soul.

btw - all these old colourfilms (Minolta = Kodak, Quelle = probably Agfa, and AgfaHDC) are done in Tetenal Colortec.

Parasole

Ferrania Ibis

The third "owl I took to Athens" is the 127 Ferrania Ibis. Only 1/50 and that's it. But very small for a 4x6. Alas it had (the usual 127) wobble-film problems, this is the only negative I didn't have to crop. Non importa, mi ho divertito lo stesso.

ITALIANISSIMO

Isn't this nice: in my 1959 Ferrania Eura is <1970 Ferrania color film, and in the middle of this picture is the best restaurant of Florence. Giannino in S.Lorenzo You just hàve to go there! Ravioli al tartufo, crespelle fiorentine, agnello... Cordiali saluti, amici, ci vediamo!
About this NM64 film I'll tell you later;

EURA

The 1959 Ferrania Eura is the Italian Click with a twist: the lens can be focused. And (look at the cut-stone step:) that seems to work!
(I'll test the two in the future.)
The sixties Agepe FF I used today had something strange: after rinsing I rubbed a white residue from the back - never seen that before. Otherwise it was fine.

Ferrania P33 (620)

Penso che Ferrania non abbia mai costruito una camera per pellicula 620, e perciò l'ho ficcata nella 1938 Kodak/Nagel. Ha perso un pò di sensibilità, ma: no velatura, dopo 44 anni!
