I shot this film for the first time and finished the whole roll in one day out, crossing my fingers for some good results in the sunny weather. Overall I'm super pleased with the outcome, and although some shots came out really contrasty I'm putting this down to the time of day and direct sunshine. Would shoot again for sure!
I love this film. I can't put my finger on why, exactly, but I am almost always really happy with the results I get. I often question whether it's worth the premium, at nearly double the price of Ilford's films, but I keep going back and buying more. Enlarged to 11x14 from 35mm, my eyes aren't good enough to see the grain and it has a 'creaminess' that suits me. It works well in 120, too.
Make no mistake, this is a great film, but for me...a bit too expensive for everyday use..I see it as a film for a "special project" rather than daily shooting. I think if)when I shot it again, I'll try it in 120.
I was given a roll of Acros II by my friend Keith as a part of our regular film swaps as I have never used Fuji Acros before, neither the new one or the original. He reckoned I needed to see what the fuss was about. Well, I now know what the fuss is all about and I am happy to agree with the folk who love this film. It's a great 100 speed B&W film with a wide exposure latitude and great tonal range. Will I use it again? I probably will but I will have to save up a bit first. It's twice the price of my favourite Ilford HP5. That's my only gripe with it, it's too expensive for my meager budget.
Fine grain and all in all a very capable film stock in the right hands. I found myself with a much higher % of "keepers" on the two rolls I have shot, and while that is obviously a highly subjective measurement, I think it must count for something!
A clear negative - pun not intended - however is the price. Fuji Across II is certainly not a cheap film and is not something I would recommend to newcomers or those on a budget. Still, as an occasional treat or for those occasions where only the best will do, this film stock is definitely one to consider.
