The best things in life are analog

The Adox Story

ADOX was founded in 1860 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and it is one of the oldest brands of photochemical products in the world. Known for iconic films like KB 14 and KB 17, ADOX also expanded into color photography and camera manufacturing, introducing among others the world's first 35mm camera with interchangeable film magazines. Despite changes in ownership, ADOX persisted, reviving Agfa's iconic products such as the Agfa MCP, MCC, APX (Silvermax) and the entire Agfa B/W chemical line.

Today ADOX remains dedicated to analog photography, manufacturing films, papers, and chemistry for enthusiasts worldwide. Their products are manufactured in Berlin (Germany) and Marly (Switzerland) by a small, young and passionate team, bringing innovation and creativity to the analog community.

Scala Reversal Process

Scala 50 Black and White Reversal Film, 35mm

Scala Reversal Kit for B&W Reversal Processing

The ADOX Scala Reversal Process kit can turn ANY black & white film into slide film, but only films with elevated silver content and a clear base will create truly beautiful slides. Most films have a grayish base, which means the highlights of the slides will not be very brilliant. The kit radically simplifies the B&W reversal process, featuring just two parts and an optional clear bath. The kit has been tailored to work perfectly with ADOX SCALA films, and ADOX CMS 20 II looks great when reversed too. Watch the video below to learn how to use the Reversal Kit:

FEATURED CHEMISTRY

ADOX Rodinal - a legend among B&W film developers.

ADOX Rodinal is one of the oldest and most well-respected B&W film developers in
history. Characterized by very good edge sharpness and high film speed, it allows to adjust contrast by varying the dilution. ADOX is producing this developer according to Agfa Leverkusen's latest 2004 formula. It does not get more Rodinal than this!

ADOX SCALA - the latest innovation in at-home black and white reversal processing.

Few things in analog photography rival the allure of a backlit slide! Experience the beauty of reversal film without any hussle with the ADOX SCALA kit. This kit radically simplifies the black & white reversal process, requiring only two steps and an optional clear bath. Just mix the Developer and Bleach 1+1 with water, and you're all set to start revealing some incredible slides!

ADOX FX-39 II - balanced grain, sharpness and contrast

Another legendary developer that ADOX is keeping alive is the FX-39 II. Based on Willi Beutler's formula for Neofin Red and further developed by Geoffrey Crawley, it is a compensating developer that works especially well with low-sensitivity films up to 200 ASA. According to your needs, this developer can be diluted in different ways for various subject contrast and film stock. The FX-39 II is well-suited for school photography because of the high equalizing power, low toxicity (no GLS labeling necessary) and ease of use (liquid one-shot developer).
