Efke is dead. Long live Efke! - New ADOX CHS 100 II announced!

[Filzkoeter]

Since the demise of Efke, Adox announced that they will try to make new films in order to substitute the Efke films (Adox used to sell rebranded Efke films as their Adox CHS line).



It's now officially announced:

There will be a new Adox CHS 100 in different formats (35, 120, LF).


The announcement of a new film always warms my heart 😱

Always a good day when we hear of another film stock coming out! Think this is ADOX's third stock in as many months (silver max 100, implosion, now a trad b/w 100)

 

[kanzlr]

wuhuw.

ok? 🙂

 

[c.poulton]

Good news 🙂

I always had a soft spot for the Adox (Efke) Art range of films - Nice to see that it will be also available in 120 too...

 

[Snapper_uk]

Hallelujah!!

Now, where's that Adox CHS 25 II?

 

[oftheherd]

I always like Adox films. Hoping the new stuff is good (don't doubt it will be).

 

[Filzkoeter]

Now, where's that Adox CHS 25 II?

This would be so damn nice! 😎
Next time I'll be at the Fotoimpex store I'll ask if they know something about plans for slow films.

 

[Muggins]

Any news on 127 sized film? I know none was sold as Adox, but they seem the best bet as they're remanufacturing Fotokemika films...

(who wouldn't say no to any Adox emulsion in 120 either, to be honest)

This is cool. When I heard about the demise of Efke I snapped up 200' of CHS 100 from Freestyle. It's in the basement freezer.

Yes. Very cool that PhotoImpex has 9x12cm Ilford HP5+, and 6x9cm Adox CHS in stock. Will have to order some soon.

...
Now, where's that Adox CHS 25 II?

They are working on a replacement for the CHS 25/50.
Mirko spoke of a film around 32 ASA.
So no CHS 25 or 50 II , but something new in the slow speed area will come.

 

[shadowfox]

Hurrah, I wonder what are the formats this film going to be available in.

 

[maddoc]

great news !! 🙂

 

[healyzh]

I desperately want a replacement for 35mm CHS 50 that is the same. Though a better version in 120 would be nice. I'd also really like to see it in 4x5 and 8x10. I wouldn't mind 127, but could live without it. I have some CHS 25, but have yet to shoot any.

 

[healyzh]

June 2013, and Large Format... I wonder what the first formats will be. Presumably 35mm and 120, I would love to see 4x5 might be included. I also wonder how soon Freestyle here in the US will get some!

I like that it's considered upgraded to their professional line! That sounds promising!

That's only code for, "to be priced at double the former price".

I guess we got to pay to play.

 

[isoterica]

Still have some Efke in the fridge 😀

I guess we got to pay to play.

If that's it, it'll be cheaper to buy better quality Kodak or Ilford films.

 

[redisburning]

if they make it in sheet I will pay anyway.

Im happy to support any company that supports large format.
