Adox have been making photographic materials in Germany since the 1860s, which gives them a fair claim to being the oldest name in the business. The modern operation is small, stubborn, and more interested in coating good emulsions than in chasing volume. It shows.

Adox CHS 100 II is the classic one, an orthopanchromatic emulsion with the soft, airy tonality that modern films tend to engineer out. Adox HR 50 is the technical one, a very fine grained slow film with extended red sensitivity that rewards a tripod, good light, and a little patience in development.

Neither is a point and shoot film, and that is rather the appeal. Fresh stock, cold stored, posted from North Essex. Send your exposed rolls back for developing and scanning if you would rather we handled the chemistry.
