Moin, wie wird der Film sensibilisiert? Ich kenne sowas bisher von technischen Filmen mit Begasung. Das wurde aber wohl nur kurz vor der Aufnahme gemacht. H...

Hi, How is the film sensitised? I’ve only ever come across this in technical films involving gas treatment. But I think that was only done just before filming. Mind you, I’ve only read about it. This is supposed to be permanent, isn’t it? It certainly sounds very exciting. Will the film be available permanently? Best regards, Peter

Hi Peter, Could it be that the film has been pre-exposed? A slight pre-exposure would make the film faster and softer. On the other hand, I’m not sure whether such latent activation is ‘stable’. Best regards, Florian

I’m asking my question here. How can this film be developed in reverse? Best regards, Peter

Hello, Gas flushing used to be common practice in astronomy. In the case of highly sensitive materials, the gas is mainly used to improve the Schwarzschild factor. In astronomy, long-exposure exposures were usually necessary. The gas (hydrogen or nitrogen) does not cause any chemical reaction in the emulsion. As soon as the emulsion is exposed to air again, the effect wears off very quickly. Therefore, I do not believe that this process is used with the HR-50. Best regards, Renate

Hello Peter, We won’t be providing any details on the technical aspects of the “Speed Boost” technology. That’s a trade secret. The industrial implementation of this technology was no small feat and took us around two years of work. We ask for your understanding. This technology is unique in its industrial application. ADOX is the only film manufacturer to use it. Of course, we can’t make any guarantees for the next 20 years ;-), and demand for a product naturally always plays an important role, but we are generally planning for the long term with this film and would like to offer it for as long as possible.

Hello Peter, The ADOX HR-50 can be developed very easily and with excellent results using the Scala reversal process in Photo Studio 13. PS 13 has tested it extensively and was delighted with the results. More on this here: http://www.adox.de/Photo/hr-50-bei-studio-13-in-der-scala-entwicklung/ We are also working flat out on a reversal kit for home users, which will be launched in the near future (most likely before the end of this year). Stay tuned :-). Team ADOX www.adox.de www.facebook.com/ADOXPHOTO www.instagram.com/ADOXPHOTO
