I bought ten rolls of Acros 120 a while ago from B&H and shot the first recently in my Kodak Reflex II. I've always liked the results I've gotten with it from developing in Rodinal 1:50.

For all you acros fans - what was your favorite conditions for shooting it? My favorite shots came from super high contrast midday sun, but those shots didn't have any midtones

Night time or fog. Anything else this film is garbage.

...whereas the former Fotokemika/Efke coating machine was a one-layer dive coating machine (very old and outdated tech).

Roll coater?

Thoroughly enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Good people posting their samples from Acros. Maybe it wasn't the best film for all situations but there are some instances where it does shine above the rest.

I haven't warmed up to Acros in normal daylight shooting but I like it at night.
