It was in competition with a full range of high quality products from Kodak, Fuji and Agfa. Now it's "better than nothing".

I posted this on RFF earlier today. images from ScotchChrome that aren't cross-processed or all out of wack due to expiration / poor storage are hard to find, but I found this Flickr album.
If it looks like that I'll be very happy. I might throw an 81A filter on it to warm it up just a tad. Looks like Astia but less contrasty, which is awesome. A reversal Portra, kind of?
Here's another image, looks really nice to me:

Yes they look just right for the sort of photographs I sometimes like to make. I'd like to try it in foggy, misty conditions...

Here's an interesting interview video with Dave Bias from Ferrania,
explaining what's happening at the moment in Italy:

Have they reached the goal yet? IIRC they were 2/3 there when I backed them.
Re: Film Ferrania: 100 More Years of Analog Film
Back in the '60s I used Scotch Chrome. It was often the actual film one received when purchasing "private label" film from stores such as Sears Roebuck, K-Mart, etc..
IMHO, compared to anything E-6 from Kodak or Agfa, it was AWFUL!
Re: Film Ferrania: 100 More Years of Analog Film
Yet in 2014, compared to anything E-6 from Kodak it is WONDERFUL. :)
Re: Film Ferrania: 100 More Years of Analog Film
