You know, I've never understood that sentiment.
Digital?
How?
Too clean? Something with the contrast perhaps?
I've shot hundreds of thousands of digital photos and converted a whole heap of them to black and white too, and I can create just the B/W shot I like from my DSLR, not only regarding to filter simulation, but also to mimicking spectral-response and inherent tone curves, none of them have the resemblance to Acros, at least the output I get from Acros trough scanning and printing.
The resolution, sharpness and detail and shadow/highlight-information from my DLSR's, smacks Acros and just about any other analog product, apart from large format out of the water.
But I like Acros and I shoot Acros and it is far away from digital looking.
What do you guys actually mean by "it looks digital" ?
Do you even shoot digital?
I would love to hear some more details surrounding this, since it is a big mystery to me that such a statement seem to have become a common argument, to explain why someone doesn't like the film.
It's ok to not like a film without any other follow-up you know, but......digital look??
