ADOX was founded in 1860 as the world's first photochemical factory. Over the next several decades, it became one of the leading film producers in Europe. Today, ADOX films, papers, and chemistry are proudly manufactured in Germany by an incredibly passionate team of film photography enthusiasts. 

ADOX HR-50 is based on a superpanchromatic B&W emulsion commonly available for technical purposes, featuring ultra-fine grain, excellent sharpness, and very high resolution. The film's speed is enhanced to ISO 50/18° using ADOX´s new unique SPEED BOOST- technology, especially when paired with its recommended dedicated developer, the ADOX HR-DEV. 

Thanks to its high resolution, sharpness, and fine grain, ADOX HR-50 is especially well suited to landscape, architecture, and travel photography. Among all current B&W negative films on the market, only ADOX CMS 20 II has significantly finer grain than HR-50.

Its extended red sensitivity means that ADOX HR-50 can be used as a near-infrared film. To maximize the "infrared look" (green leaves become white), a strong IR filter which blocks visible light below 715 nanometers is recommended.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Joseph ★★★★★

The tonal range on this negative film is gorgeous—highlights stay creamy while shadows hold real detail. I developed it in standard chemistry and scanned it at home, and the grain is surprisingly fine for a 35mm stock. This is my new go-to for street shots.

Stella ★★★★★

Shot a roll of this over the weekend and the tonal range in the shadows is honestly beautiful—even at box speed it holds detail where I expected mush. Development was completely predictable too, which matters when you're testing a new stock. Just wish it came in 120, but for 35mm it's my new go-to.

Leo ★★★★★

The grain structure gives portraits that classic 60s look, and it holds fine detail even when I push it a stop. I've been shooting a roll a week since it arrived, and the contrast is dead on for what I want. This film has earned a permanent spot in my freezer.
