stephen sullivan Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 This is frame 34 from the Fuji Acros 100. About 10 minutes later I put in the Efke 25. So again, last Friday, April 13th of the Seattle, WA Skyline EOS 1 w/ EF 28mm f/1.8 USM w/ B+W 040 @ f/7.1 with Tripod<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen sullivan Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Oh Yeah. Fuji Acros rated at 80EI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_m1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Your images show horrid grain from using D-76! I process Acros in Microdol-X at 75 degrees for 18 minutes, diluted 1:3, and I get no grain at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_tapscott Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It all depends how big you enlarge to and which format is used Terry. Stephen`s images are small sections of different parts of the original image which I would guess is from a 35mm negative, also some film scanners seem to have an uncanny ability to to show the graininess of a film no matter how fine grained the film. An enlargement from the same negative seen for real may look entirely different to how the image appears on a PC monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niall_church Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I process acros 100 in Rodinal! 6ml to 30ml water for 9mins @20 degrees celsius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Nial, how do you rate your 1:50 Acros/Rodinal? I've been using R-09 instead of "Rodinal", rating happily at 200 with 1:50 adding 1/4-1/3 time Vs Massive Chart. Zero grain at 8.5X11 (Nikon 4000ppi scan), don't yet know about my normal 11X17 goal. Massive chart offers a 1:25 time for 200 with Rodinal itself, but I'm not sure that'd result in Rodinal appearance. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_smith Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm not sure that rating the Acros @ 64 then getting a lab to process in D76 is a good idea. In my own tests http://photo-utopia.blogspot.com/ I have found Acros to be pretty much equal to TMX and better grain wise than Plus x and very similar to the Adox 25. Contrast and tone wise I had to shoot quite a few rolls (3 or 4) to really nail a setting I can use for general photography and for Acros that is 18 mins in Rodinal 1:100 at box speed. Plus-x needs less time I rate that 15 mins 1:100 at box speed. I've done quite a lot of testing of B&W films of late and if you are interested check out my blog, they are not formal tests, just my feelings on the overall character of each film.
