Ferrania Orto 50 B&W negative film 135-36 (35mm)

Manufacturer's description:

Ferrania Orto is the quirky cousin of the P30 and is characterized by the same high silver content, the same strong contrast and the same virtually invisible grain as the P30 - but this time with a completely different character - orthochromatic.

In the early days of silent film, film stock was blue-sensitive or orthochromatic. Hollywood relied on cosmetics as a "corrective" for the actors on screen. One hundred years later, the very "flaws" that plagued our predecessors are now the creative characteristics that distinguish orthochromatic films.
