Adox CMS 20 is one of the sharpest black-and-white 35mm films in existence, the fine grain and low light sensitivity means that prints can typically be enlarged to over 2.5m diagonally without loss of resolution or detail!
ISO 12 (up to 20 depending on development process) means you will need lots of light or a steady hand/tripod - but you will be well rewarded with a super-premium look
Adox is one of the oldest photographic brands in the world, established in Germany in 1860 by Dr. Carl Schleussner - who worked on early wet-collodion plates and X-ray plates. The company started marketing their own cameras in the early 20th Century, and introduced a line of B&W films in 1952 that became renowned for their sharpness of resolution. A difficult end to the last century saw the brand change hands multiple times - and now Adox films are produced by Fotoimpex across manufacturing plants in Germany and Switzerland. Their products remain very high quality with a focus on emulsions that resolve incredible levels of detail and contrast.

This film is great for huge enlargements and really hits the spot when it comes to fine grain. It seems that it is best used at 20 ISO rather than pulled to 12.

An excellent, sharp film
Only shot one roll of this film, but it was a great experience. Should have shot it on a brighter day because of the slow speed, but loved the results.

Amazing detail used with the recommended developer.
This was my 3rd roll of using this film and all shot using a tripod with an iso 16. Great detail and no problem with home development using the recommended developer. Highly recommended.
I feel I did this film a disservice. I used a Praktica Pentagon lens, which doesn't begin to show the true quality of this film. It takes a great deal of care to get your exposure right with this film, but I think I pretty much nailed it here.
