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.
