tom_finnegan Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 While this film isn't officially imported to the U.S. it is available from Badger Graphics. Does anyone have any experience with this film? Any likes or dislikes? Development suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

renee_galang1 Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I am very interested myself as I just bought 40 sheets from Ebay. Have not received it yet but once received I would love to know how to expose and process it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_white7 Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 FUJI QUICKLOAD Black and WhiteI have just returned from Japan and Fuji now sell their new 100ASA ACROS emulsion in Quickload form which should prove better than the current Neopan Commercial......We will be stocking it within a month or so.

fw1 Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 Neopan Commercial is a variable contrast emulsion, that delivers reasonable results. From the data sheet (Japanese only, I'm afraid), they recommend ; * for high contrast, try EI80, and a Fuji developer called <i>Artdol</i> @ 1:2 for 4 minutes @ 20C (I've never seen this developer outside Japan) * for normal contrast, either EI80, and D-76 for 6 minutes @ 20C, or EI100, and D-76 for 6.5 minutes @ 20C.<p>In practice, I have had reasonable results with this film @EI64 in DiXactol, but TMax 100 or Delta 100 in either PMK Pyro, DiXactol or Rodinal are a much better bet for black and white photography.

sal_santamaura Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 For Acros info, go to: <p> http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/bw/img/ds_ti_pdf/af3-095e.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fw1 Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Thanks, Sal, for the excellent link. I'm confused, however, by Fuji's description of the film as <i>orthopanchromatic. (?!?)</i> Does this just mean ordinary panchromatic, or does it imply a different spectral sensitivity to a normal panchromatic film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_santamaura Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Rather than try to figure out what someone in Japan writing English meant to convey, I'd suggest you look at the spectral sensitivity curve (Item #12 on page 4 of the data sheet). Compare it to the analogous curve for whatever film you use/like. Then, having speculated about the differences, wait patiently with me to try some actual film!
