I'd say so. Ferrania seems to be making film for other brands. Italians are often masters in niche markets.

Yeah, that Ferrania is good stuff.  I was buying it at the Navy Exchange here (labeled as NEX film) until they stopped selling it for some reason.  I might have been their only customer for it.

Ron,

May I ask the "store" brand name? All I have here is CVS and Walgreens. I think that Wolf/Ritz has a private label film also. I would like to try some of the Italian stuff!

Kroger around here used to carry Ferrania, but stopped carrying any re-branded film. I e-mailed Ferrania's US office a few ago, and was told that Food Lion and Winn-Dixie still carry it under their store brand names.

We no longer have a Food Lion or Winn-Dixie in my town, but I'll be going on a beer run Saturday to a nearby town with a Food Lion. Going to see if I can pick up some there!

Ferrania is nice stuff it is based on the old Scotch film and they recently started making slide film again. They are making it for Rollei as the new AGFA CT.
