Zuiko Auto-S 50mm F/1.4 - Ferrania Solaris 200

I found some expired Ferrania Solaris and have fallen in love with it:

One can easily see why you have fallen in love with this emulsion. I must admit that it annoys me that so many great films are gone. Nowadays there are not much of a choice, at least here in Poland. In budget films you could buy fresh: Fuji's: C200, Superia 200, Superia X-Tra 400; Kodak's: Color Plus 200, Gold 200 and Ultramax 400. There are of course more interesting ones as Fuji's: 400H and Kodak's: Portra 160/400 and Ektar, but that's it. Agfa Vista Plus 200/400 is rebadged Fuji so not much of a difference nowadays.
Don't get me wrong, I really like all of those films and think they're great (yes, Color Plus 200 as well - it has such wonderful feel of 80's-90's) but while scanning my family archives I'm missing Kodak Gold 100 (which was my dad's favourite) as well as opportunity to try bunch of Konica's, real Agfa's or Ferrania's for that matter.

Beautiful series!

Thanks guys! It makes me weep for the loss of so many great films. Let's hope Ferrania manage to get their factory going again. They had some setbacks recently but it looks like they will still get it sorted.

In the mean time I look for more old Solaris stock
