A NEW (as of 2022) ISO 200 COLOR NEGATIVE FILM FROM ADOX

[mshchem]

Always look forward to Adox new products. Adox uses such nice packaging. I am using up some 6 (7) bath E6 chemistry. Looking forward to going back to the Adox (Tetenal style) 3 (4) bath chemistry.

@ADOX Fotoimpex is the new stock of Color Mission 200 the same film as before.

Puzzled, since the official word was that CM200 was all gone… Is this CM200 mkII and we are encourage to find out what it is / how we like it? Is it the same stuff as Orwo 200 / OptiColour 200?

Thanks!

I would hope not, the language around this implies it's the CM200 we know and love.
Adox isn't the company I'd expect to rebrand NC200 while implying it's CM200, so hopefully they can chime in and at least partially explain how this film became Lazarus ;-)

Yeah, there is hope that this is still the original CM200 since the max. 3 rolls per order rule is still in place.

Maybe NC200 is something that has "existed" for years in the sense that Inoviscoat had the recipe on paper but not the ability to bring it to market. Maybe CM200 was an attempt to bring it to market and NC200 a new attempt to convert whatever Inoviscoat has sitting on the shelf into a product. So the two films might be quite closely related.

Adox CM200 appeared suddenly out of nowhere as a pretty good color negative film. Now imagine how much or how little R&D you think Inoviscoat would be capable of doing in 2021 or 2020 prior to launch. That amount of R&D must be the distance between whatever Inoviscoat had sitting on a shelf and CM200.

I scaned the first roll of CM200 yesterday after a couple of years of buying some (not a 35 mm guy). Very saturated reds and very grainy compared to other similar films would be my summary. I am not really impressed or pleased honestly, Agfa CN were grainy but I rememeber the color pallette saturated but better balanced
