Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II is a fine-grain black-and-white film reintroduced in 2019, renowned for exceptionally smooth grain, high sharpness and unrivaled reciprocity performance for long exposures.
Character & look
Acros 100 II produces a clean, smooth tonal scale with ultra-fine grain and deep, rich blacks, giving images a refined, almost digital-clean quality while retaining film character. Its standout trait is reciprocity: it holds exposures up to two minutes with virtually no compensation, making it the premier choice for night, architecture and long-exposure landscape work. Sharpness is excellent and highlight rendering is graceful. Contrast is moderate and controllable in development. The result is a technically superb film that pairs beautifully with a tripod and slow, deliberate shooting where its smoothness and reciprocity truly pay off.

Shooting & development tips
Exploit its reciprocity — exposures to two minutes need little correction, ideal for daytime long exposures with ND filters. Develop in XTOL or Rodinal depending on whether you want smoothness or bite.
