About ADOX
Welcome to all users of ADOX films and papers!
ADOX Dr. Schleussner Fotowerke were the first photochemical factory in the world, founded in 1860. They were the first to invent thin layer films and double anti-halation coating, both of which led to increased image sharpness.
ADOX distribute five different types of black and white films, CMS, CHS, CHM, Pan 25, and Ortho.
The CHS (Cubic Heterodispersed Single-layer) films contain old school ultra high silver content emulsions made according to the original ADOX formulations of the 40's and 50's. They are coated on dip and dunk machines which facilitate the manufacture of small micro lots, practically ensuring that a continually fresh supply of ADOX film will be available even at low volume. Two of the films, CHS 25 and CHS 50 have orthopanchromatic sensitivity which is typical of films from that period of time, whilst CHS 100 has a spectral sensitivity similar to modern panchromatic films.
The material of the CHM (Cubic Heterodispersed Multi-layer) films originates from England and is manufactured by ADOX. CHM 125 and 400 are very similar to Ilford FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus.
CMS (Cubic Monodispersed Single-layer) 20 is the world's sharpest and most fine grained film in existence. This is possible because the emulsion of the single layer is only one grain thick. It is recommended for processing in Adotech CMS developer.
ADOX Pan 25 is a slow speed film for those who prefer full panchromatic sensitivity (400 - 650 nm), whereas CHS 25 is orthopanchromatic (400 - 600 nm).
ADOX Ortho films are typical orthochromatic films, being red blind and only sensitive to the blue-green portion of the spectrum (400 - 550 nm).
ADOX make several types of photographic papers. The MCP and MCC papers are produced on the original AGFA machinery which ADOX purchased from the liquidator of AgfaPhoto in Leverkusen and are identical in all respects to the former AGFA MCP and MCC papers. MCP are resin coated neutral tone variable contrast papers, while the MCC are fibre based neutral tone baryta papers of variable contrast. Fine Print Vario Classic is a triple weight fibre based neutral tone baryta paper with variable contrast. Fine Print Variotone is a fibre based warm tone baryta paper also of variable contrast.
Please tag your images to show which ADOX film or paper you used. Additionally it would be nice if you can include the developer used.
Enjoy the group!
