ADOX HR-50 stands for "High Resolution".
ADOX HR-50 is based on an established emulsion commonly available for technical purposes, featuring ultrafine grain, excellent sharpness, very high resolution and a superpanchromatic sensitization. The film´s speed is enhanced to ISO 50/18° using ADOX´s new unique SPEED BOOST- technology. The gamma is also reduced, so it becomes perfectly usable for pictorial photography in regular developers.


ADOX HR-50 is especially suitable for landscape, architecture / cityscape and travel photography.
Besides its excellent resolution and sharpness ADOX HR-50 offers an extremely fine grain. Among all current B/W negative films on the market only ADOX CMS 20 II has an even significantly finer grain than HR-50.

In portrait photography we recommend our dedicated ADOX HR-DEV developer or ADOX FX-39 II.

ADOX HR-50 can be used as an infrared film and responds extremely well to any sort of filtration (yellow, orange, red, blue, green).

For infrared shots with maximum "Wood effect" (green leaves become white) we recommend a strong IR filter which blocks the visible light below 715 nanometer. The pictures get a dramatic and unique look.
