NEWS: Film Photography News Round-Up – March 3, 2024

We have a short but fun news round-up for you this week which includes two new 35mm films! Additionally, The Photography Show at NEC Birmingham is right around the corner so we report on the upcoming event here too.

Let’s dive into the news from the previous two weeks.

New Black and White 35mm P33 Film From Film Ferrania

Film Ferrania has revealed their latest film, P33! This is a 35mm 160 ISO black and white panchromatic film created to improve the processing and printing challenges Ferrania says some folks had with P30. They say it will meet the needs of professionals while also opening accessibility to newer film photographers.

Manufactured in Ferrania’s factory in Cairo Montenotte, Italy, P33 will come with 36 exposures per roll. The retail price on Ferrania’s website is $11. However, at the time of writing, they are out of stock. If you would like to pick some up, Don’s Used Photo Equipment and Cinestill have stock at $11.99 (Cinestill price). Don’s Used Photo Equipment is located in Dallas, Texas, and their P33 is available in-store, not online. These are the only two resellers Ferrania lists on their website but check with your usual film source to see if they will be getting P33 in stock.

Head over to Film Ferrania’s website for more information here.
