DPReview TV tested the new Fujifilm Acros II film, and compared it also with the much loved Acros film simulation we find on our Fujifilm X and GFX series cameras.
You can see the video below. Here are their findings summed up.
Back in April 2018 Fujifilm officially announced they will discontinue ACROS 100.
One year later though, on June 10, Fujifilm surprisingly announced the comeback of Neopan ACROS 100 II film with shipping in fall 2019.
This is made possible, because Fujifilm developed a new Acros 100 II film, by replacing some materials that became difficult to obtain and by adapting the manufacturing process to the new material.
And we are almost there, as you can see from the full press release below.
A little good news in a world, where over the last few years I sadly had report how Fujifilm was discontinuing one film after another.
You can still find the original ACROS 100 at BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama
Over the last few years, FujiRumors had to sadly document how Fujifilm was discontinuing one film after another, and raising price on others.
For Acros 100 lovers, the bad news came back in April 2018, when Fujifilm officially announced they will discontinue this much-loved film.
Hope came a couple of months later, when the news arose here, that Fujifilm was considering to bring back Acros 100.
Now Fujifilm finally announced, that they will bring back Acros 100 in fall 2019.
This is made possible, because Fujifilm developed a new Acros 100 II film, by replacing some materials that became difficult to obtain and by adapting the manufacturing process to the new material.
I do hope that Fujifilm can bring back other discontinued film by using new technology and materials, too.
