I have several old roll-film cameras dating from 1930 to 1960. As I don’t want these old cameras to gather dust, I’m looking for a reliable, affordable black-and-white film that I can get hold of for the long term. I was thinking of ADOX. Which one would you recommend?
Thanks

PS: Lucky isn’t exactly a revelation

The CHM125/CHM400, or the FP5 and HP5, should be perfectly suitable options if you need 120 film.
When it comes to 127 film, the choice is even ‘simpler’ – there’s really only the efke left.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with your question, but if you mean the film should have the same speed as back then, then go for the PanF or the Efke R 17.
If it’s just about keeping costs down, then buy the Classic 100 Eco – it’s about 10 euros for 10 rolls.

Thank you very much. I’d like to capture the look of those old films as well. That’s what my question is about. And I think ADOX might be suitable for that. 127 format isn’t necessary.

Adox CHS25/50/100, also known as efke 25/50/100. Then develop in Rodinal. And then 6x9 contact copying on fixed-grade baryta paper :)

Thanks for the tip; I’ll go and order the films then. Thanks
