NEOPAN ACROS 100

14th August 2018

We're pleased to have this very fine grained ISO100 black and white film back on our shelves. Acros is a 'modern emulsion' type film, similar to Kodak's T-Max or Ilford's Delta and employs Fujifilm's Sigma Crystal Technology and Super Uniform Fine-Grain Technology, resulting in an increased amount of light captured by the film grains and more efficient use of this light. Additionally, Acros has a very low reciprocity failure (the requirement for longer than indicated exposures when exposing for longer than 1 second).

It is classified as an ultra-high speed and offers fine grain vis-a-vis it's sensitivity. It is very useful for very fast action and for subjects that require good depth of field combined with fast shutter speeds. It is also an excellent choice for available-light documentary photography. Additionally, the grain structure of T-Max 3200 is popular for fine art applications....
