Acros, Fuji's BW film is an outstanding value. Fine grain, great tonalities and pretty large scale of forgiveness make this film a favorite.
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. Has a look unto itself. I didn't care for it at first but it really grows on you. Too much so, sometimes. Can get contrasty. Very "steely" metalic quality - hard to describe. Not like Tri-X, not like TMax.
After you shoot all your pics, just unroll it and hold it up to the sun. 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.
