description ADOX Silvermax 100 Overview
ADOX Silvermax 100 was a panchromatic black-and-white photographic negative film produced by the German manufacturer ADOX. Marketed with an ISO rating of 100, the film was distinguished by its unusually high silver halide content compared to standard consumer films. It was manufactured during a single production run utilizing surplus coating materials and machinery originally associated with the Agfa company. Available primarily in the standard 35mm format, the film was favored by fine-art photographers for its fine grain, wide exposure latitude, and distinct tonal rendering.
help ADOX Silvermax 100 FAQ
What made ADOX Silvermax 100 different from ordinary ISO 100 film?
Silvermax 100 was a 35 mm black-and-white negative film made from a limited stock of Agfa-related material. It was promoted for its broad tonal range and unusually high silver content compared with many modern films.
Can ADOX Silvermax 100 still be purchased new?
It was produced as a finite single run rather than as an indefinitely renewable emulsion. Remaining rolls may appear from specialist dealers or second-hand sellers, but fresh supply is inherently limited.
Which developer was designed for Silvermax 100?
ADOX offered Silvermax Developer as a companion chemistry intended to draw out the film's tonal range. The film can also be processed in other black-and-white developers, although contrast, grain, and effective speed may change.
