Adox versus Schanghai or Era

[Dmitriy M. Reznitski]

Hello.

I'm living in Europe and price for both of them (with shipping, etc) is somewhat the same (I'm speaking about 4x5). But what about the films themselves? Anyone tried to compare? I shoot quite a lot Adox CHM 400 (135), a bit of 120, but never tried Shanghai or Era.

Thanks for any opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Adox CHM400 was rebranded Ilford HP5+, just like CHM125 was rebranded FP4+. That film has nothing to do with the Adox CHS {25, 50, 100} films.

Oh, and Ilford no longer accepts rebrands.

Well, I was told that when I bought it for the first time, but I almost never shot 135 HP5, at least alst 4 years.

Yeap, and this's the question: what to expect from these sheet films compared to each other.

ERA 100 seems to be a lot like FP4.
