ADOX CHS 25 ART and Plus X 125

[jwcat]

I was digging through my closet last night and found ten rolls of each. 2008 for the ADOX and 2010 for the PX. What developer would work best on them? I am going to restart developing film again and will be relearning the process. Let's hope there is some muscle memory in regards to agitation. I have a mental block there for some reason. I have Hewes reels and Nikkor tanks.

For Adox CHS 25 / Efke 25 one of the best combinations is Beutler A+B or FX-1 or Rodinal/R09. All very high acutance type developers.

Best regards,

Robert

CHS 25 used to be my favourite film in 120, I developed it in Rodinal 1:100 18 mins at 20 C. Since its demise I've switched to HP5 and shoot handheld now. Still got 10 rolls with expiry date 02'14, somehow only don't find the right occasion knowing I won't buy replacement no more, not to mention that I don't like the tripod 😉

Thanks, I thought Rodinal would be the answer.

Plus-X is lovely in stock D76. My favourite film ever.

Plus-X in D76 1:1 is my main process. Pretty forgiving and nice results when scanned.

Yes, Plus-X in D76/ID11, much smoother grain than in Rodinal
