Black and white film with a classic look
Adox 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 state of the art cascade coating avoiding all problems associated with older CHS100 Type I productions
• ADOX CHS 100 II is an orthopanchromatically sensitized B/W film with classical grain and a sensitization optimized for Grayscale 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.
• ADOX CHS 100 II can be reversal processed (including the sheet films).
• 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 light piping 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 achieve a medium contrast of 0.65 reduce the sheet film developing times by about 10%
