The Adox Color Implosion is a color negative film. It is a limited edition film from Adox.
The film has been manipulated to provide certain effects. Thus, the shots are supposed to have imploding colors. The red hues are supposed to stand out a lot and the other colors drift into a cyan blue or yellow. The pictures have an unusually coarse grain.
The sensitivity is specified with ISO 100. However, if you expose it a bit stronger or weaker, you can change the effect. According to Adox, underexposure at ISO 400 should result in really coarse-grained photos with honestly few colors. At ISO 200, the manufacturer promises that the colors, except for red, will be green-blue. The red, on the other hand, explodes and immediately catches the viewer’s eye. At least, that’s what Adox claims.
Adox intended it primarily as a store item for the Fotoimpex store. Introduced by the German manufacturer at Photokina 2012, Color Implosion is only available as 35mm film for 36 frames. It is developed normally in the C-41 process.
Sample photos
The pictures were taken with the Olympus OM-2. The film was developed in the C-41 process and digitized with the Canoscan 9000F (eBay / Amazon*).
