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.

Adox Golf 63 camera
This camera is from the fifties and is a 120 roll film (6cm x 6cm format) camera. The lens is a Adoxar 1:6,3 / 75mm with a Vario shutter.
I bought this camera many years ago on a fleamarket for a few euros. Unfortunately the camera is heavily used and the metal top is dull.
The setup is very simple. Glass plate with an orange sheet as seamless background. The glass plate gives a nice reflection at the bottom. The orange colour gives a nice contrast with the black camera. On both sides I used a polycarbonate panel to create shadows on the
camera and to prevent special highlights on the chrome edge of the lens.
The two black books at the back are used to prevent spill light on the background.
The two monolights, with a standard reflector, are on both sides of the lighttent. Aluminum-wrapped cardboard creates a highlight on the left-side of the Adox.

Nikon FE2, Nikkor-N 35mm f/1.4, Adox Color Implosion
For some time, I've been meaning to test home-brewed D-85 two-solution developer as an alternative for lith printing.
This image, made with a Nikon F4 on Adox CHS 50 Art film processed in Neofin Blue, was used for a test on Fotospeed Lith paper.
The D-85 formula (available on my website) contains paraformaldehyde, an unpleasant chemical that gives off a strong odour of formaldehyde when in solution. Good darkroom ventilation is essential, particularly when - as is the case here - you are processing at a higher temperature.
This print was developed at a dilution of 1 part solution A + 4 parts solution B + 10 parts water at 32.5 deg. C. Development time was 10 minutes, with continuous agitation. The image started to appear at 5 minutes and the 'snatch point' was not critical, infectious development happening quite slowly.
The developer at this dilution exhausted very quickly. After two test strips and this 8x10 print, the next print had no visible image after 8 minutes. I topped up the developer with a further 1 part of solution A and continued development. This second print required 11 minutes in total, although the tonality was slightly different and the overall image darker than this, the first print. Replenishment with 0.5 parts of solution A may be a better option.
As I have found with this paper previously usng LD-20 developer, the lith effect is subtle and the image colour unexceptional. The paper is also semi-matt, a surface that I'm not keen on and which doesn't scan well, due to its granular texture.
The scan you see here looks better than the print though.
The colour closely matches that of the original print.
Further tests will be done next using Fomatone MG Classic 131 glossy paper.
From Milton it is a bit of a long haul to get to Owen Sound, far longer than I had initially estimate, but well worth the trip. The beautiful and architecturally rich downtown offers up plenty of photographic opperturnities and is a spot that I do hope to visit again, but being on a deadline I could only stay a couple of hours.

All zones are cleanly where I had calibrated them.
The higher resolution of the film (285 lp/mm) is very noticeable in the shadows.
Great combination.
