Italian Film

[kully]

I'm off to an Italian wedding in Switzerland next week - and I can't decide whether I'm stupid or not for wanting to take Italian B&W film.

Does anyone know where I could get some (Ferria?) film in the UK? Is it any good? Should I stick with what I know? Am I being too romantic?

cheers,

too romantic...use what you know.

The only Italian made film that I am aware of is Ferrania and that is color only. It's also to be avoided at all costs as far as my eyes are concerned. If you get really lucky and squeeze the best possible result from it, you'll get up to ugly...

If you want some excellent European made black and white film get some Foma instead. Exquisite stuff.

Good luck. From what my swiss in-laws say, the Romansch areas are quite beautiful.

Thanks for the replies, my fickle self has been turned away.

I've used Ferrania and while it's not my favourite, with some PS it was OK for cheap film, maybe not deserving of all the invectives people have leveled at it.
