OK....I've shot a little Acros 100...these aren't the results of any hard-core testing, just from fishing around for working EI and development specs and some casual snapping.(posted 8416 days ago)Curve shape is "modern style," that is, about the same as TMX and Delta 100 in D-76. I didn't get into trying to modify it.
Using rotary agitation (Jobo) I got EI 50 in D-76H 1:1 and EI 64 in D-76H 1:3 for comparable CIs; for comparison, TMX and Delta 100 are both EI 100 for the same developer and about the same CI.
Of note is that Fuji indicates that Acros 100 has superb reciprocity characteristics.
The negs look very clean and smooth, and the 120 film has _very_ low base and fog density. Also, the 120 base is so limp it's like trying to load springy spaghetti on a reel.
I don't think Acros 100 is in any way a "TMX killer" or anything of that sort; otoh I think Fuji has finally produced a film that's equal to TMX and Delta 100 in all ways and perhaps superior in lack of reciprocity failure.
If Fuji makes this film available in 4x5 and especially Quickload packets, that could be really exciting. Otherwise I don't see any good reason to pursue it or avoid it. While it's very good, it's not better.
