Usually, I just move on when I see “out of stock” — I don’t sign up for back-in-stock notifications either. But with this one, I did. I didn’t even expect to ever get the notification, let alone the film. A week ago, the email came — and now I’ve got two cans of #Adox #ColorMission.
To the fridge for now, got to finish one loaded first.
As well as the roll of #Adox HR-50 I used in my #PentaxMX, I also used a roll of #AdoxScala in the LX. Devved the HR-50 in HC-110 dilution E yesterday (nominal 6:30), and also posted off the Scala to the only UK lab I could find that would do BW reversal processing, www.polyfilmlabs.co.uk . I think they're small & have a longish turnround, but OK.
. @tomnorthfilm I did a dev session today, FP4 and then #Adox HR-50. Nominal 6:30 in HC-110 1+47 (dilution E). First surprise was the dev colour when pouring it out, pretty much dark coffee coloured! Second surprise was looking at the negs when I took the lid off to wash. The clear substrate makes them look completely different to normal negs. As I was pulling them out of the tank for the PhotoFlo wash (in a separate jug) I thought maybe they were thin, maybe not?
So #Adox HR-50 in HC-110 dilution H (1+63), MDC says 9 minutes, while IlfoTec HC 1+31 MDC says 4 minutes. I reckon HC-110 dilution E (1+47) at 6 to 6.5 minutes should be about right? Any thoughts?
@rstub @Jim_Graves @tomnorthfilm I've just bought a 500 ml bottle of #Adox #HC110 "original syrup with extra-long shelf life", taking advantage of a short term offer to avoid the ridiculous £9 delivery fee from Firstcall Photo. I think I've got around 50-70 ml of my 2018 #Kodak bottle left to finish up, depends on how far into the sludge at the bottom I dare to go!
First thought looking at this bottle, I can see the yellow "syrup" and I'm pretty sure it's a LOT less viscous than the original!
So, the Massive Dev Chart IlfoTec HC 1+31 time for #ADOX HR-50 is 4 minutes, near enough half the HC-110 1+63 time (IlfoTec HC and HC-110 times are not always the same, but mostly they are). So, IF #ADOXScala = HR-50 rebranded, then I'm taking the MDC HC-110 1+31 time of 8.75 minutes for Scala as flat-out wrong!
On a whim I bought a roll of #ADOX #Scala50 (plus 2 rolls of ADOX HR-50, which apparently is the exact same film advertised for negative rather than reversal processing). Having done a quick search and failed, does anyone know a UK lab that offers b&w reversal processing? Analogue Wonderlab used to (from when they absorbed Silverpan), but it appears to be suspended. Plenty of places offer 8-film processing kits, but that doesn't make sense for me.
Is it me or does #Leica Monopan 50 look suspiciously like #Adox HR-50? #shootfilm #filmphotography

Luckily I remembered that Cameramatiks in Edinburgh does on-site repairs. Took my #Vivitar28mm in, it disappeared round the back, tap tap tap, reappeared, all fixed. No charge, a smile and a little talk about not cross-threading filter holders!
So relieved I bought a roll of #Scala and a couple of rolls of an #Adox ISO 50 film in 135 for around £8 a roll!
They also has a #Pentax ESII in for £299. With fond memories of my Electro Spotmatic, I was quite tempted... not this time!
