redbaron Posted July 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone tried this stuff? Adox claims 800 l/mm, (yep, 800) which equates to about 500 megapixels, whatever they are. I'm happy shooting at 20 ASA for landscape work, but editorial stuff needs to be a bit faster. If you have tried it, which developer did you use, and what do you think of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Hi redbaron, Take a look here Adox CMS 20 – Opinions?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Steve Ash Posted July 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2010 Yes, I have a regular stock. It can very well be used from sun rise to sun set and gives you the chance to use your fast lenses also wide open without the need to use a nd-filter. I always use the adotech developer which I get supplied from - Fotoimpex Berlin | alles fr die analoge Fotografie - in a package with 5 films. I found that it easily scans. Real film lovers might miss the grain. Regards Steve PS: one example_ http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/people/129495-b.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicko101 Posted July 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2010 Love it. It will really test your scanner, but this is the stuff Leitz's lenses are made for. I got my two (yes just two!) rolls from FotoImpex (see above) whilst in Berlin. Shot two rolls, shame I didn't shoot more. I got them to develop it at Fotoimpex along with a contact. Brilliant stuff.

Guest nephilim Posted July 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2010 I love the CMS20, too! However, I feel it attracts more dust and dirt than other films I've used so far. I also have occasional problems during scanning with the Coolscan 5000: the scanner seems to get confused right during the initial phase where it searches for the beginning of the frame and applies an offset. It needs a hard reset after that :-( In the near future I'm going try Spur DSX 64 and see how this will perform and scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted July 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 1, 2010 BTW, I shoot it at 25 if that is of interest. Regards Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

engelfangen Posted July 8, 2010 Share #7 Posted July 8, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice film, but it is more 12 ASA. Scanning is easy with it as the film is very clear. best regards Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted July 12, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 12, 2010 I love the tonality of adox cms 20. The range of creams and greys and blacks just rocks. I have developed with the adotech developer and with rodinal, but preferring the adotech developer. I have a few images scanned with this film, but it shows off best to my eyes when wet printed. A superb film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coz Posted July 19, 2010 Share #9 Posted July 19, 2010 I'm thinking about trying this too. Are there any labs in NYC or mailorder that would develop it for me? If it was developed without adotech is that a problem? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
