New Film Cameras and Film
Adox Silvermax
From the Adox website:
SILVERMAX contains about double the silver compared to regular films which enables it to build up higher DMAX and reproduce up to 14 zones in our dedicated SILVERMAX Developer.
This way SILVERMAX catches it all for you from the brightest highlights to the deepest shadows.
SILVERMAX is incredibly sharp due to the anti-halation layer between the emulsion and the base which also helps enhance detail contrast.
SILVERMAX features an extremely fine grain, comparable to tabular-crystal films.
The speed and covering effect comes from the high silver content.
SILVERMAX is coated onto clear triacetate and can be reversal processed.
Made in Germany.
(Note: this film is made in a separate factory to the Adox branded EFKE films so is unaffected by the recent closure of Fotokemika)
The film will only be available in 35mm 135/36 format
New Rolleiflex TLR
The new Rolleiflex FX-N has a re-designed Heidosmat 2,8/80mm viewing lens coupled with a Rollei S-Apogon 2,8/80mm taking lens.
Most of the specifications are the same as the old FX model; the N designating the new viewing lens which enables the camera to focus to a closer focus distance of 55cm.Most of you who read this blog will know how much I like my Rolleiflex cameras, and it's really good news to hear the about the introduction of new cameras after the problems the company had a while back.
They also introduced a new version of their Hy6 model
Although the image shows the digital back the camera can accept a roll film back giving studio photographers the option of shooting film as well as digital.

In a previous post you indicated that Fotokemika, in Croatia, produced Adox film and that it will be stopping production of all its films. Is Adox Silvermax something different?
Absolutely. The CHS Art range were made by Fotokemika and badged Adox these are no more. The other films in the Adox range are made in Germany and are not affected by the Croatian companies demise.
Wish Rollei had made a 35 mm panoramic back like the Bronica
Can't wait to give the Silvermax a try.
