lenmetcalf Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Would love to know what E.I people are shooting Acros at and what you are developing it in, including times and results. Times for sheet film in tray development please. Just for a starting point. I want to try some in D 76 and/or Xtol over the weekend. Thanks, Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael gordon httpwww Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I'm letting A&I develop it for me (in D76, I think). They do a fine job. More specifically, the reason why I'm responding is to request everyone to get Fuji to remove that frickin' hole in the corner of the sheet. It requires cropping into the image area or digitally cloning it out to enlarge at a fixed 4:5 aspect ratio. It doesn't need to be there! I wrote to Fuji about it but got a standard form response. You can write to them here: http://fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/MailTo.jsp?returnTo=ContactUs.jsp&contact=CONTACT_US_DETAIL_464173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt miller cambridge, ia Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 <a href="http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Times/Acros/acros.html" >This</a> has some good information on developing Acros. I shot a box of it a while back and used Rodinal at 1:50 @ EI of 80. I believe I used 12' at 68 deg in the unidrum, but I'm not totally sure on that.
