I was quoting from their blurb, Here is a fuller quote: "ADOX CMS 20 has an orthopanchromatic sensitization which differentiates perfectly between colors. The CMS ?sees it all?. No green filter is necessary in portrait photography." I read it to mean it is as panchromatic unlike Technical Pan which was red sensitive as I recall e.g. highlighted freckles. Maybe the ortho is suggesting that it is equally sensitive to all colours? Chris B 2009/3/8 H.
