Review Summary
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).
Due to the backside Layer the sheet films are retouch able with photo dyes.
