Hi,

some further positve news:

3. And Adox has just introduced a new paper developer based on ascorbic acid: Adox Neutol ECO.

4. Freestyle is now (finally, finally.....) offering the Fuji Hunt 6 bath E6 home developing kit. The best E6 chemistry you can get.

Cheers, Jan
 
Jan, thanks for the list. (By the way, always interesting to read your informed and informative posts here on RFF about the factual situation regarding the state of analog.)

As it happens, I bought a bottle of Adox Neutol Eco recently and used it for some prints, liking it so far. A hydroquinone-free paper developer, what's not to like! Hoping it will have a decent shelf life in the opened and then sealed bottle, as I do not get around to do darkroomwork all the time.

Greetings, Ljós

Oh, thank you :).
But I only try to do proper research. More than 95% of the information is available for the public and published somewhere.
The rest is simply asking manufacturers, distributors and talking to experts working in the industry (e.g. there are some in German and international forums).
And I visitit photo fairs like the Photokina and talk to the companies there.
That's it. It's quite simple.

Cheers, Jan

Ljós, please report here when you know more about shelf life and other aspects. I'm in a similar situation, darkroom time is rare for me but nonetheless i'd like to try the new Adox developer.

And Maco's got a Double-X for those of us who don't know where to get it in bulk in Europe.

Price? 60EUR for 5 rolls.

Wrong!!
A 120 roll of Adox CHS 100 II is 5,18€.
At current exchange rate that is about 5,70$.

And this film is sharper and has higher resolving power (I've tested it, other photographers as well with the same result) than Ilford FP4+, Rollei RPX 100 and Fomapan 100.

Cheers, Jan
 
A roll of 35mm CHS 100II at Freestyle is $8.99. The 120 size doesn't seem available at B&H or Freestyle. Maybe soon,
 
Hi,

probably interesting for those who are interested in all the news and helpful information about current film photography:
Fotoimpex / Adox has an excellent news stream, tips & tricks and interesting general information about film photography on their publicly readable Fotoimpex Facebook page:

The non-hydroquonine developer sounds interesting.
I wonder when Freestyle would have them in stock...

Ljós, Klaus, I am quite fond of Moersch ECO 4812 (paper developer). Love this stuff. Lasts a long time and gives absolutely beautiful results.

Herzliche Grüße
Sandra

Thanks, that's really great!
So much interesting information there, and updates several times a week. And also in two languages, German and English.

Cheers, Jan
 
That's great news indeed. Hopefully they can put more variety into market now.

I REALLY hope they make an "Aura" type of an infrared film. I've been dearly missing this since Efke went away. Rolley Infrared 400 is very-very nice, but just quite doesn't "hit the spot" like Efke IR820 Aura (or MACO IR820 Aura) did.

And if you are outside the EU you can avoid the VAT and pay about 4,35€ per roll. I'm going to place an order later this week. I dig this stuff.
