Just ordered six rolls of ADOX CMS 20 and a bottle of ADOTECH....

All films, these with triazetate base and with PET base, dry flat the best way with a 40-60% humidity in the air.
Curling films are mostly caused by too dry air.

Explains why it seems so much worse in the winter. Thank you!

Who needs Adolux? Maybe for you folks in Europe the price is reasonable, but here in the US Adolux and Spur are $35.00 for enough concentrate to process just 5 or 10 rolls.

So, being a cheapskate, I figured why not try Rodinal. Here's CMS 20 @ 12 ISO in 1+200 Rodinal for about 14-15 minutes semi-stand.

What is the difference between Adox CMS 20 and Adox CMS II 20? You can only get 120 film in the II version.

Oh, this was CMS 20 II. I not 100% sure of what the difference is.

I have processed CMS 20 in Adonal 1+200 for 14.5 minutes for asa 10-12 with excellent results. Would say 10 minutes work with asa of 5 in the same developer? Or would someone recommend a different time?

Temp of 20 degrees C is the developer temp..

I just received my Freestyle order of 4 rolls of Adox CMS II 20 High Resolution Film - 120 Size and a bottle ofAdox Adotech CMS II Film Developer.

However, it seems like the posters here are recommending a lower ISO and lower developing time. (Over expose and under develop) to increase the shadow detail (Lower contrast).
It seems like the recommendation is to cut the ISO in half, and reduce the developing time by 20%. -- is that correct??
I created the following chart for developing times and mixing the developing solution, based on mfg recommended ISO and times. (Use at your own risk).

Yes, I can confirm that, it is my experience, too.

It is a good starting point. But with all film - developer combinations, you have to do your own tests for your own, individual developing parameters like individual agitation rhythm, tank type etc.
