Analogue Adventures – Part 58: Adox Color Mission 200 C-41

Adox Color Misson 200

Adox Color Mission 200 is apparently some old film stock which is being sold by a shop in Germany. I wasn’t overly happy with most of the films with a similar background. Will this one change my mind?
Processing (C-41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany, the pictures in this article are from one roll of film.

The Adox Color Mission 200 reminded me a bit of the Kodak Aerocolor/Santa Color due to its very strong reds. I also found it to be a bit high contrast/low dynamic range, similar to the Harman Phoenix 200. Not the ideal choice in case you are looking for a neutral outcome of your pictures. 

It is rather unlikely that I will be buying more rolls of this.

My name is Bastian and I am your expert here when it comes to ultra wide angle lenses, super fast portrait lenses (ranging from a 50mm f/0.95 to a 200mm f/1.8) and I also have reviewed way too many 35mm lenses. Don't ask me anything about macro or wildlife shooting though.

  1. Thank you for showing us which film is not worth buying. If someone wants to have at least a bit “real world” (and not Mars atmosphere) looking pictures. 🙂
