Adox Color Mission: 2022's surprise new colour film

Colour film is hugely in demand at the moment, and Kodak - who produce the vast majority of it - can barely keep up with demand.
But amid the great Colour Film Drought of 2022, German black-and-white film specialist Adox in February unveiled a surprise new addition - Color Mission.
Kosmo Foto managed to track down a few rolls from the first batch, and here's our first thoughts.

Beautiful Photographs of warmth, colour and strangely nostalgic in its feel - of even the now - What a film. Thank you.

It's nice to see any new stock on the market. Whether repackaged or entirely new. I wish they'd be cheaper though, I'm struggling to afford film. Still, I'd rather have it be out there and expensive than not out there at all.

[@arcanics1971]

NB: I know some may not consider it expensive. I'm on benefits so it's expensive to me.

Colour film is getting more and more pricy. I guess part of it is we no longer have the economy of scale we once enjoyed.

@@kosmofoto it's crazy how just a few years ago (around 2018/2019) I was able to buy Kodak ColorPlus or similar for less than 5€ a roll, now it's unavailable all the time and even basic film rolls cost like 10-15€ :(

Just to clear up a common misconception: Adox has long ceased to be company. The brand name continues however, and Fotoimpex currently has the rights to use it. (Just like "Voigtländer"/Cosina.) What film you find in an "Adox" package is a highly contingent affair, though I believe that Fotoimpex is trying its best to find consistent suppy lines.

Dear Stephen, canny video as always 👍 It's heartening to see new producers of Colour Negative film bringing those products into the market 😁 Regards,
