Adox HR-50 is a relatively new film from Adox and adapted from technical high-resolution film specially for regular use.
Set to 50 ISO this film will produce ultra-fine grain and moderate contrast - and has been designed with travel photography and cityscapes in mind.
Sensitive across the full range of visible spectrum, Adox HR-50 is a great film for experimenting with the use of different filters (including infrared!)
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.

Can also be depeloped as a negative!
Although there are no labs (to my knowledge) currently willing to develop into 35mm B&W Slide film (B&W Reversal) there is a kit made by adox and this film can also be developed as a negative by many film labs! All my photos in this review were processed like any normal B&W negative film.

Contrast-y
Due to it's low iso and incredible sharpness, it's amazing choice for daylight shoot-outs. Accessible shadow play.

a hidden gem - slow and smoooooth !
this is a really lovely film that feels a bit like Pan F but 'smoother'. It likes lots of light obviously but copes pretty well in contrasty situations. This in 120 would be very nice indeed.....

Slightly hit and miss for me
4 stars because when this hit it really was a BIG hit, with lovely detail, sharpness and nice contrast. But I had some shots where it just didn’t seem to perform - I guess with some more rolls I could work out more of the reasons for the hit and miss, but to be honest, I got as nice results (on the good side) from an Ilford 50, which I can develop with Ilfosol 3 (I did get some Ilfotec DDX to develop this, as Adox seems to be a bit fussy about what can be used, and I didn’t want to waste the roll!).

Amazing film. Otherworldly black and white contrast.
