Pick a film that is likely to stick around. To replace a modern film like Acros I'd reach for an equally modern film like Delta 100 or TMAX 100. They won't have Acros's unique tonal rendering, but they also won't hold you back in any way. Top notch films each. I choose to shoot Ilford for B&W to support them, and color for Kodak to support them. Best of both words!

I probably mentioned this before, but Acros seems (seemed?) to be a film that's highly dependent on developer choice and protocol. I was firmly in the boat w/ others that thought the film sorta sucked, looked too flat in it's tones, gave images that were more grey and grey than black and white, and was useful only if you needed a long exposure in low light. One day I wandered over to APUG and some of the photos there that were made w/ Acros blew me away. I clearly saw that if you develop it right you can get really good tonality out of it. Not tonality that I prefer, but better tonality. It was amazing how much better their shots were than mine, so developer can make a huge difference w/ your chosen films.
