What Makes ADOX CHS 100 II Good

ISO 100 - Slow, deliberate, designed for photographers who take their time. Best in good light with careful exposure.

Dual Emulsion Layer - Two emulsions coated in a single layer on an archival PET base. Engineering that serves the aesthetic.

Open Shadows - Retains shadow detail with a softness that harder films can't replicate. Shadows breathe rather than block up.

Creamy Highlights - Smooth, gentle highlight rendering without the harshness of modern emulsions.

Classical Grain - Visible grain that feels period-appropriate rather than accidental. Part of the look.

Archival PET Base - Crystal-clear base for clean scanning and long-term archival storage.

Responds to Creative Development - Adjust your chemistry and development times for different tonal results. Rewards experimentation.

Best For

Fine art photography, portraiture, landscapes with delicate tonal requirements, and photographers who want a vintage aesthetic that's genuinely built into the emulsion rather than applied in post. Once you've shot it, send it our way — we develop and scan it too.

Perfect for photographers who want soft, classical black and white with an aesthetic that no filter can replicate.
