Fuji Acros II - 35mm

Fuji Acros II is the successor to Fuji's famous Acros I film, which was discontinued in April of 2018.  Just over a year after the end of the original Acros I, Fuji unveiled the new Acros II film as a replacement.  Acros II is an extremely fine-grained, ortho-panchromatic, black and white emulsion.  It has a look very similar to the original Acros with a few minor differences.  The film has slightly less orthochromatic sensitivity, causing blues and greens to render a bit darker.  It also has adjusted highlights, to help increase sharpness there.  Otherwise, the film looks and behaves almost identically to Acros I.

Fuji Acros II has exceptional reciprocity characteristics, making it well suited for long exposure photography.  The film needs no additional exposure compensation for exposures up to 120 seconds and only 1/2 of an extra stop added for exposures between 120 and 1000 seconds.  This makes it the best black and white film on the market for long exposure work.

As of the summer of 2020, the film is available in both 35mm and 120 formats.
