Dunes on Adox 20:
This is an even more sandy area than the usual sand around here. I've been there 2 years ago. This time wasn't so good, heavy rains the days before somehow spoiled the surface.
The Golf 1a (Adox was a German maker better known for film) with its unusual all-plastic body was an avant garde at the lightweight end of the 35mm camera market.
With a 45mm 2.8 lens and 3-speed shutter, its specification was sparce, but unlike the more popular Agfa Silette 1, the Adox had a bright-frame viewfinder making picture composition a lot easier, and it produced quite presentable results.
The camera is shown fitted with a "Copal CDS" clip-on exposure meter.
Olympus Trip 35
Adox CMS 20 @ ISO 80
Anneman-Gainer 1+100 for 75 mins @ 20C. Presoak 5m in water+wetting agent. 30s initial inversions then 1 gentle inversion every 20 mins.
Slight adjustment of levels in postprocessing.
I don't think I'm quite at the 'sweet spot' yet with this developer/film combination. For a 2-stop push of the film I think it's going to come out something like:
- Presoak in water + wetting agent
- Semi-stand 1+100 60 mins, gentle inversion every 20 mins
There's a tendency to uneven development with this developer, particularly around the sprocket holes. The presoak seems to help quite a bit.

Adox CMS 20II got pre-exposed with zone I exposure for better shadow details. Film got developed in POTA. 10 mts. semistand.
ATTENTION: You need to pre-water this film with a 1% of washing soda solution for 1 to 2 mts. to get rid of the antihal. layer. Otherwise stripes. Wash with water then prior to development.

I've been carrying out some experiments lately. Other pictures will illustrate these better, but I liked this shot - and I'm not entirely sure what lens I used, which rather defeated the point :) It was probably a Minolta MD 50mm f1.7@1.7 or possibly a Minolta MC 35mm f2.8@2.8. Better viewed large :) [Edit: It was certainly the 50 - or possibly the 58.... :) !].

At the start of the summer I bought some Adox Silvermax 100 film to try out. The plan was to shoot it quickly, develop it myself in the dedicated Silvermax developer, then scan it using my Plustek scanner. We all know what happens to the best laid plans. During the summer, due to family illness I had no time for photography at all so the film travelled north to Skye a few days ago where I quickly used it up. Unfortunately I completely forgot to bring all my developing gear so the film was sent to my usual lab to see what they could make of it.
Here are some of the results. Looking at the negatives I thought they looked quite contrasty and this was backed up when I started to work on the computer. In a lot of them the highlights were blown out. I'm sure my exposures were correct because I use a hand held meter so it must be a combination of what the lab used as a developer and the scanning process. I have read online that even using the Silvermax developer the film speed should more accurately be set at ISO 200 at least to avoid the highlights blocking up. When I get back down the road I'm going to try shooting at ISO 100, 200 and 400 and will develop it in the Silvermax developer following the manufacturers instructions to see what comes out.
These are all crops to a greater or lesser extent but at first glance the claims to be a fine grained film certainly stack up.

A brief history of Adox:
Adox company is also called Dr.C.Schleussner Fotowerke GmbH.
The company's founder, Dr. Carl Schleussner, did pioneering work on the wet-collodion process during the early years of photography, and founded the worlds first photochemical factory in 1860. Working with the physicist Wilhelm Röntgen, discoverer of X-rays, Dr. Schleussner invented the first X-ray plate. Also, film and B&W paper sold under the Adox brand name. They produced some camera models from the 1930s to the early 1960s, and the most advanced is Adox 300 with interchangeable film magazines.
