ADOX has announced HR-50, a new monochrome film stock that will be available in 135, 120, and 4x5 formats. According to ADOX, the HR-50 film stock is "based on an emulsion commonly available for technical purposes.
" It features "an ultrafine grain" and uses "super panchromatic sensitization," meaning it's sensitive to all wavelengths of visible light.
ADOX says HR-50 is particularly well-suited for street and landscape photography, but also works for portraits, although they do recommend using its own HR-50 developer. In the event you don't want to buy another developer to keep in the darkroom, ADOX says the "gamma [of HR-50 has been] reduced so it becomes perfectly usable for pictorial photography in regular developers. "
According to the press release, ADOX HR-50 also works as an infrared film and handles the use of filters "extremely well. "
Below are a few sample photos provided by ADOX.
