Ferrania Orto is P30's quirky cousin and features the same high silver content, inherently strong contrast, and practically invisible grain as P30 – but this time, distinctly orthochromatic. In the earliest days of silent cinema, film stock was blue-sensitive or orthochromatic. Hollywood relied on cosmetics as a 'corrective' for on-screen actors. One hundred years later, the very 'flaws' that plagued our predecessors are now the creative features that distinguish orthochromatic films today.
