Adox CHS 100 II Black & White Negative - 35mm Film
ADOX CHS 100 II is an orthopanchromatically sensitized black & white film with classical grain and a sensitization optimized for greyscale separation. The film is made from two separate emulsions in a single layer coating and yields a very large exposure latitude. Due to its classic sensitization it features a very harmonic tonal separation. Compared to modern films it differentiates better between lips/face, clouds/sky, water/land. The film is coated onto clear archival PET.
Information:
ADOX CHS 100 II and can be reversal processed (including sheet-films). Due to the backside Layer the sheet-films are retouch-able with photo dyes.
In the 35mm and 120 format ADOX CHS100 II has two anti halation layers.
- Between the emulsion and the base (AHU)
- On the backside layer (anti halation, anti lightpiping and non curling)
Due to the extra AHU layer in the miniature and 120 format there are slight differences in the developing times between those films and the ADOX CHS 100 II sheet-film.
In order to achive a medium contrast of 0,65 reduce the sheet-film developing times by about 10%.
Films coated onto PET are subject to the light-piping effect and must be loaded in the shade.
Rollfilms tend to spring open so they need to be held even more tightly than triacetate films when loading into the camera.
Tanning developers (Pyrogallol / Brentkatechin) are not recomended for Films with an AHU as they can cause tiny emulsion liftoffs.
We have tried to match CHS 100 II as closely as possible to CHS 100 type I featuring:
- A rock solid classic emulsion system which has been out there for decades
- A sensitization close the one of the old CHS 100
- A single layer emulsion
- The same base material including the option of reversal processing
- An optimized backside coating to fully prevent light piping if the film is loaded in subdued light
- A special anti halation layer between the emulsion and base for enhanced sharpness
- A full set of formats from 35mm to ULF off the shelve
- A state of the art cascade coating avoiding all problems associated with older CHS100 Type I productions
Features:
- Orthopanchromatic Black & White Film
- Single layer emulsion film
- Can Be Processed in Reversal Chemistry
- Classic grain structure
- Single layer emulsion film
- Wide tonal range
