Adox Atomal 49 is an extra-fine grain, compensating developer offering excellent film speed and high contrast control from development.

As a single-use developer, ATM 49 delivers precise, repeatable results on each roll of film. The powder developer mixes to make a 1-litre stock solution. The stock solution can be used for up to ten films or further diluted as a single-shot developer. Stock solution can be kept in a full container for up to 6 weeks. It was formerly known as Calbe A49.

The 5-litre version mixes to a 5-litre stock and, working the same way, can process up to 50 films, making it the cheapest developer we sell.

The single-use powder makes mixing precise each time, which takes the guesswork out of consistency. Definitely sticking with this formula for my medium forma

Natalie ★★★★★

Mixed two rolls of HP5 and one of Delta 100 in the same tank and the compensating action kept the highlights smooth while shadows stayed detailed—no blocked-up contrast anywhere. The single-use format means I don't have to worry about oxidation between batches, and 5L is enough for a solid month of

William ★★★★★

Mixed 1L of this developer last night and the extra-fine grain on the test roll is exactly what I was hoping for — sharp but not harsh. The single-use aspect makes timing easy, and it processes consistently every time.
