Oooo yaaaaa…. This is lush, looked like you had an amazing time in London.
@eclectachrome gifted me some of this film and still not yet shot it, I have been waiting for the perfect location and day… which in England doesn’t really happen… however it’s looks like you caught England on one of its good day.
Amazing photographer, you know exactly how to capture the essence of the places you visit 🙌
Warm red, rich and contrasty. Love this film stock and excellent pics!
Thank you so much! I was so surprised by the look of this film, really love it, the contrast and colours really are something else :)
Love the story behind this film stock sales!
Me too, love their approach !!
EFKE was ADOX but in the Balkans i believe
Li!e most of Adox branded films, I doubt very much if Adox actually manufactured this film. In any case, its an interesting film if it ever materialises.
Adox just bought a film production line in Switzerland which formerly was Agfa (maybe inbewteen Harman/Ilford owned it, that I don't know). At least their b/w film is on the market regularly but could of course be made from Foma, Agfaphoto or Ilford.
As this is still their "mission" to one day make a regular color film I don't think it should be too bothering if this film hasn't been made in Switzerland by them (AFAIK they only bought it recently, and as ColorMission apparently is years old, that wouldn't fit anyways).
Considering if ORWO made their film (like it's assumed ORWO makes many films for Lomography) it would make sense that a "batch" has been made of some sorts. ORWO today only produces film for a few weeks each year at the ORWO production line in Wolfen. That production line today is owned by Polaroid and ORWO basically rents it back to produce their films.
For me this just shows what a tiny, tiny market film photography today is. Even while the "film resurgance" is true and happening. You get ORWO all around the world from Europe, USA and Australia. And they do this by producing it a few weeks each year! So I just guess, as was said in this video, that Adox ordered some batch from whomever, maybe a production of 5 days, freezed it and sold it off until now.
@@lelandfitz1762 Adox announced last month that they will no longer offer the CMS 20II, granted it is not a very popular film but it just goes to show. As for ORWO, the new owner of the coating factory has limited the production due to cost of electricity, apparently. I can only assume that this also is being blamed on the war in Ukraine, like everything else. In the final analysis it makes no difference but the fact remains that film is getting more and more expensive and the chemicals even more rare ( I have been waiting for over three months for Ilford to restock the Perceptol and ID11, two of the most popualr and basic developers available ) and the film market is on the decline. Sad times for film photography.
It's an interesting film. I think I shot it too much overcast and dim (UK!) so my results were slightly muddy, but I did capture some punchy colours and contrast. Makes a change from many other options in the market which are quite yellowy, soft and open the shadows - Kodak I'm looking at you
I really got lucky with the weather to be honest! Wouldn’t have gone that well on an overcast day. But loved the colors too, super unique. Wish I could buy more 🥲
