Where are the US distributors for this film?
The only place I've seen Adox products of any type in America is from Freestyle. But nowadays that seems to have ended.
I think we are limited to Fotoimpex. With the current exchange rates and super quick shipping here, you make a large enough order and it's well worth it.
B&H has Adox in 35mm. Maybe they'll carry 120 one day...

Still waiting for any of their developers, and HR-50 in any format (to me their most compelling film at the moment).
I hope so. B&H has carried Adox developers, paper, roll film and sheet film.
Argentix in Montreal carried some products. It may take a while for the new products to reach N America.

That is one film that I would like to get my clammy hands on!
Then just buy some Scala 50. ADOX has indicated they're the same film, just labeled differently for marketing purposes.
Thanks Sal. I didn't know that about Scala. I can find it in 35, but want roll film.
AFAIK Scala / HR-50 have been 135 only products.
From my experience with CHS 100 II I can say that it is a very flexible film concerning developers and possible characteristic curves (cc).
So de facto you can get any cc you want / need.
It is one of the advantages of CHS 100 II.
If you want / need a linear cc, just use a developer which is designed for that, like e.g. DD-X, T-Max dev. Ultrafin T-Plus, Rodinal in 1+25.
And if you want a (semi)compensating cc, just use a developer which is designed for that purpose, like e.g. FX-39 II (compensating effect can be very well adjusted by dilution and agitation), Rodinal in higher dilutions 1+50, 1+75, 1+100 (compensating effect can be very well adjusted by dilution and agitation), XT-3 in 1+1, 1+2, D-76 in 1+1 or 1+2.

We can completely confirm this from our tests with different developers.
This great flexibility and responsiveness of CHS 100 II to different kinds of developers - developers for straight linear curves and semi- or full-compensating developers - is indeed an important advantage of CHS 100 II.
So yes, just use the developer you need for the wanted shape of the characteristic curve.

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE ANALOG.
You'll need to convince B&H or FreeStyle to buy a few pallets worth. I figure the sales volume is too low.

Well the production has just been announced.....isn't it somewhat wishful thinking to imagine it in stores in N America already?
Can we expect to be able to buy 120 rolls of CHS 100 II in the USA anytime soon? It's expensive to have a few rolls shipped from Fotoimpex. Thanks!
Freestyle, which charges quite a bit for shipping within the U.S. by the way, receives its ADOX product via ocean/surface transport. Less expensive than DHL Express but s-l-o-w. Retail customers in this country will pay to get CHS 100II one way or the other: time or money.

Group purchases at FOTOIMPEX could be the answer: Saving time and money.

Well, not actually saving money, but at least spreading the shipping cost among multiple purchasers. I don't volunteer to coordinate the herd of cats involved in such endeavors. Been there, done that.
Ah....reminds me that even as a German I still have to make my Christmas order there.
