Great news, and in so many formats too.

I'm impressed by the "optimized backside coating" - the services these film makers offer beggar belief! 😛
I don't suppose there's the slightest chance the full range of formats might include 127... I'm sure I'd buy some anyway, but that would really make my day if my weird and wacky 127 beasts could rise from the dead one more time!

127 alive again? I'd like to see several old formats back alive. There are a ton of GREAT old cameras out there that just sit and act as show pieces. I saw tons this past weekend I'd love to have, but they use wierd film sizes that aren't easily worked around.
I'd like to see 127, 828, 620 and a few others made affordably again. I realize that 120 is 620 with a different spool but that spool makes all the difference.
Heck as far as I'm concerned they should just make the 120 spools the size to fit 620 cameras and then they'd work in both!

Mirko from Adox has specifically said no to 127 film. Not sure why.
It seems B&W is in good hands with these non-Kodak film companies.

Is that film by any chance a return of the APX 100 in disguise? I have seen, that many did not like particularly the new APX 100, and my old stock is running out, so I have ordered some Rollei RPX 100, but I would be very much interested to know how this new ADOX film will fare. In slower range traditional B&W films, Ilford FP4 seems to be the last man standing.

CHS was a single layer monodisperse* emulsion AKA EFKE very esoteric stuff, basically less tolerant of exposure, particularly over exposure. Having a single layer meant it was very sharp for its speed.
APX is a different beast with multilayer approach that favours tonality, you might like to know that of the 100 speed films Fomapan is the closest to APX in structure although FP4+ is similar, its not quite the same tonally as APX.
*monodisperse means one crystal size and shape.

I own a lot of cameras. I own a lot of film. But I've never owned or shot any ADOX film in my life.
Where can one procure this delight in the US so I can experience it first hand? 😀

Cool, thanks! I'll have to check it out. Seems pricy but I'm always game to try new stuff.

CHS 100 is/was a very sharp and tight grain for it's speed, Beutler or high dilution developers bring the best out of this film.

Adox CHS is lovely stuff.
I like the 25 ASA version

ADOX is currently selling Silvermax 100 which is basically APX100 emulsion on a clear Triacetat base. Rollei RPX 100 is a similar type of film but on a normal grey base. I think both are good choices for a 'APX100 like' film
This new ADOX CHS100 film is a remake of the Efke 100. A traditional one layer emulsion type on a triacetat base. It remains to be seen how well they've managed to emulate the old Efke emulsion.
