FUJIFILM Neopan 100 Acros II Black and White Negative Film

[Out to Lunch]

$4 more a roll than TX400. What is it perfect for? Many thanks for sharing your experiences. OtL

Very fine grain and medium contrast, nice for architecture on medium format

It’s a tabular grain film more closely related to TMAX 100 or Delta 100 than Tri-X. If you haven’t tried a T grain film, I think Delta 100 is the cheapest of the 3 these days. I only shoot Delta 100 in 35mm and 4x5 lately, and I’ve never seen a huge difference between it and TMX or Acros. Acros does have the best reciprocity characteristics if that’s important.

Acros is a monosize cubic grain film. The grains are not flat.

It has by far the best reciprocity of any available film; it is amazing for night time or long exposures.

OK, that'll do. I'll order some rolls. Thanks, Marty. Cheers, OtL

Where I'm at, Acros has been cheaper than Tri-X.

One of the greatest strengths of Acros (and Acros II) is the almost crazy-seeming (if you shot other films) reciprocity stability.
No other film that I am aware of has a reciprocity characteristic curve that is this flat.

Thus, making Acros 100 II a very suitable film for long time exposures.



Edit: Just noticed freakscene already mentioned it - oh well here's the deets at least.
