Ferraniacolor regular 8mm, 25 asa, dated 1967

Does anybody have any idea of what process was required in order
to develop Ferraniacolor regular 8mm, 25 asa daylight, dated about 1967?

It looks to me that it may well be E2 or E4 or a similar process, but I
am not sure, since at the time Ferrania use to be in co-operation with
Agfa.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I suppose you could try contacting Ferrania -- they're still in business
in Italy, IIRC producing the last 126 Instamatic film anywhere on Earth
(one emulsion, Ferraniacolor 200, I think only in 20 exposures).

Opinions expressed are my own -- take them for what they're worth
and don't expect them to be perfect.

Say it ain't so; my youth is slipping away. What is the status of 110?

I don´t know of 126 (I don´t believe they keep up the production), but
type 110 is in production - under the label "Solaris", by Ferrania.
And some shops in germany still sell fresh Agfa- and Fuji in 110.

Last I heard, Fuji was still making a couple emulsions in 110, both 200
and 400 speed; Ferrania might also make one. Might be interesting to
have processed, since most one-hour places don't like to admit their
machines can handle anything other than 35 mm and APS, but it's out there.

I spoke with Ferrania last week and they are investigating on the issue.
Some other people I have been in contact with suggested that it may
well be either
a) Agfacolor/ORWO compatible film
b) a much easier and less toxic process that could be done by amatours
c) an Ektachome compatible proces
As they told me, a) was when there was a mailer for pre-paid process
whereas b) was when process was not included in the price.
Whereas c) was at the very end of the 60's when Ferrania was bought by 3M.
Have you got any thoughts about this?

Also, about 110 and 126:
Ferrania still produce fresh 126 Films, 200 asa, branded Solaris.
Check it out on www.ferraniait.com
They also produce fresh 110 film 200 asa branded Solaris.
The guy from Ferrania confirmed everything and told me that in Japan
at the moment there is a big 126 revival and the most of 126 costumers are
there.

About where developing your 126 and 110, both colour (c41) and black&white
I suggest you send your films to this lab called Top Foto Services
http://www.topfotoservices.co.uk
You can also ask them to send you a mailer where you can put your films and
send
it to them. They are in Cornwall, in the Great Britain (UK). Quite cheap too.
