Adox CHS 100 II film is back!!

[Nokton48]

Send them an email and ask? 🙂

For long distance shipping I would not buy just one box of film

 

[brbo]

I wonder how much BH or Freestyle would charge me to get some Ektar 4x5 over here? The film is much dearer in the EU (58 EUR vs 37 USD for a 10 sheet box!)

Just put your items in the cart and you then get a total with shipping and all duties&taxes.

BTW, we live in the same country so if you ever decide to order from B&H we can share the shipping costs...

The customs fees and shipping costs might kill that bird ... you better check that before you order. Depending on the country, there can also be a bit of work to track down and actually get your package too if it comes from outside of EU.

I am a bit tempted to get some CHS II in 6.5x9 size, we'll see - need to find a camera for my Linhof holders first. 😀

I just did that - put ten boxes in the chart and the amount topped up by a further 121,85 USD from duties and taxes alone! 😡

Sure, great idea. I will let you know should I ever decide to do shopping over at B&H.

Adox CHS 100 II film is back!!

For what it's worth , in B.C , Canada there's pretty well no film available that's less than $10 a roll ( and our taxes up that ~14% ) . But I'd sure like to try any of these slower Adox films 🙂 , is Santa listening ? Peter

Yes, locally all the exotics (Kodak and Fuji Pro, Cinestill, Ektachrome) are $15-$19 at Beau, Leos and Kerrisdale.

However, there are several films for less than $10 at Kerrisdale Cameras.

Consumer films,
Kodak Gold 3x24 for $19
XP2 (24) $9

Surprisingly,
FP4 (24) $8
FP4 (36) $9

I agree that's "pretty well no..." in comparison with the overall market selection.

Here is a snapshot of the film wall today (12/24) at the Burnaby store:

Just buy 35mm film in bulk and load your 36 exp cassette at home. It feels sweet on top of being cheaper.

Hi guys,

Christmas surprise by Adox: Their wonderful CHS 100 II film is back:
http://www.adox.de/Photo/chs-100-ii-sheetfilm-available-again/

It is already available in sheet film. 35mm and 120 are coming a bit later.
This film is coated on their modernised coating machine in Marly (former Ilford Imaging Switzerland, bought by Adox in 2015).
You can get it in all standard and non-standard sheet film sizes:
https://www.fotoimpex.com/films/sheet-films/
Even in all ULF formats up to 20x24" / 50x61cm!!
And that all over the year (not only once a year like the Ilford ULF programme). You make an order and then it will be made for you.

Cheers, Jan

That are indeed excellent news!!
It is one of my favourite BW films. It belongs to the best ISO 100 films with classic emulsion technology. Very good detail rendition, wonderful tonality, works perfectly in combination with lots of different developers, excellent price performance ratio.
The timing is perfect for me, because my CHS 100 II stock is down to about a dozen rolls. I am looking forward to buy this film from the new production.

 

[Freakscene]

It looks like it is out of stock at Fotoimpex now . . .

No, fortunately not.....🙂.
4x5", 5x7" and 8x10" are available. And the other sheet film formats can be ordered and then will be made for the customer.

Sorry, you are correct. There are no roll film formats in stock.

Discontinued: B&H just showed 35 & 120 Adox CHS 100 ii as discontinued anyone know the story?

 

[sepiareverb]

But Silvermax is special order at B&H after being unavailable for ages. I ordered a bunch to tide me over till the CHS is back in roll formats.

 

[roscoetuff]

6.5x9cm and 2.25"x3.25" sheet film is not easy to find. Choices are very limited.

Yep. But hey Nokton, what cameras are you using again? 'cause I'm asuming you made the decision to eschew 4X5 for very specific reasons.

Don't know how many here follow the Nicos youtube Film News show, but sometimes I think he's on to something by dropping medium format and barbelling his shooting between 35mm M's and Large Format. Then I come to my senses and don't want to run another series of GAS sessions and instead just shoot the stuff I have. Maybe one day I'll go in another direction... but not now.

 

[Deleted member 65559]

roscoestuff.... personally i would never drop MF. If i trimmed down....i'd drop Ms and LF and subsist with a Rolleiflex.

 

[Deleted member 65559]

last week Adox was back ordered.....this week "discontinued" so it seems much ado about nothing with last month's announcement

Then I see films for ten bucks a single roll it is a call to quit.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1085012-REG/adox_127136_chs_100_ii_35mm.html

I need at least 40 rolls per year to call it as photography, not a hipsta status on forums with three rolls per year developed, scanned in the lab.
But if I'll spend 400 USD for film, it is quit call for my wife. Because after taxes and conversion to Canuckistanians it is something like 700 CAD.

So, it is simple choice at ten bucks per roll. Stay single or quit from film.
Are you, guys, single?

The rollfilm sells in the EU for the equivalent of around $5,50. Lately I’ve been buying a mocha latte on the way to work each morning for what translates to $6,70. I drink it within ten minutes and convert it to a liquid that’s quite literally flushed down the toilet within a couple hours.
In Sweden a Leica M-10-P (body only) costs what equals to around $9100,00. You could take more than fifty-nine-thousand photos with this film, before you got to the price of the digital camera body. Of course they need to be developed too - but the digital camera also needs hard disks and a computer - and a lens.

Anyways - to address other points in the thread, on sites in Europe the rollfilm is simply marked as currently ‘sold out’ rather than discontinued. I’d wait a while before making assumptions based on one store’s listing.

B&H is one of the 2 big online sellers in North America. It also happens to be the one i buy from. I'm not waiting..... but in December the company creates a buzz.... January it's unavailable. I'm not waiting .... I've got lots of FP4+ & Acros. ....

 

[Nokton48]

Yep. But hey Nokton, what cameras are you using again? 'cause I'm asuming you made the decision to eschew 4X5 for very specific reasons.

1. Minolta SRTs/SRM and XK.

2. Plaubel Makina III and IIIR 6.5x9cm, and three Plaubel Makiflexes (6.5x9cm, 2.25"x3.35",
9x9cm image on 9x12cm and 4x5 film)

3. Sinar Norma View camera systems which go from 6x6cm, 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10.

4. A couple of Plaubel Peco Profia 4x5 view cameras.

5. Hasselblad system quite extensive

Perfect reply.

That said, we all have our cut-offs for our various vices. I’m feeling lucky to be down to film, fancy coffee and one or two others.

This film is NOT available at B & H.
