Adox CMS 20, a challenger for APX 25

Adox CMS 20, a challenger for APX 25

I have purchased a few rolls of this Adox CMS 20 film, believing it to be a good replacement for summer shots, in stead of APX 25. Since this brilliant film has vanished, I was (and still am) trying to find a good substitute for its velvety tones. Alas, none is good enough to replace this film (for me at least). Hard to satisfy, me…

I have thrown a few developers at it, with “meh” results; sometimes grainy, sometimes too much contrast, sometimes downright crappy. And then, truly by trial and error, I came to the old ID11, which made this film a good challenger for the APX 25. Not there, but close enough.
