CHS 100 II (CHS = Cubic High Silver) contains more silver than modern films — a trait of pre-1980s emulsions. This higher silver content translates into a richer tonal range and deeper blacks. Adox markets the '1960s look' — perfect for portraits and classic photography. PH Distrib is the official Adox distributor in France — Adox films (HR-50, CHS 100 II, Scala 160) are available directly at phdistrib.com.
