This is simply the most advanced black and white film I've found. Very fine grain, responds exactly as you'd expect. there are films with more character, but very few that are as predictable and reliable.
Acros, Fuji's BW film is an outstanding value. Fine grain, great tonalities and pretty large scale of forgiveness make this film a favorite.
Has a look unto itself. Too much so, sometimes. Can get contrasty. Not like Tri-X, not like TMax. Very "steely" metalic quality - hard to describe. I didn't care for it at first but it really grows on you. Amazon will probably choke this review but B&H sells it for about $2.75 a roll in 120, making it one of the least expensive medium format black and white films not made in China. Whoever set Amazon's price on this one - and they're usually pretty good, must have been drinkin' Dektol.
If you have a fortyseven thousand dollar holga or a twenty dollar Blaad, this well be just fine for all medium format adventures. This film was made by Dire Trolls inside a remote Hokkaido volcano. It is made with walrus lips, alpaca goiters, and semi-retired vanity. Oh yeah,this is that great new film that doesnt need any developing. After you shoot all your pics, just unroll it and hold it up to the sun.
