Freestyle Legacy Pro 100 = Acros 100?

[jim appleyard]

I like Neopan 400. When I run out of the APX 400 and Arista Premium that I've stockpiled in my freezer (because I thought the end of the film world was near) I'll grab some legacy 400.

Very nice!!! A half price Acros is always welcome!

Any idea if they'll push these in 120 format too? If so, I'll be in heaven with the disguised Neopan 400.

you and me both! neopan 400 is my primary 400 speed film and i shoot mostly medium format. I'd like to see it available in a variety of sizes in much the same way Arista.edu Ultra is but we'll just have to see.

For now I'll just be happy I can get film of any size at such a discount.

On Foto Riegler web site http://www.foto-riegler.at/fotofachv...tartseite.html we can see that FUJI NEOPAN 100 ACROSS = LEGACY PRO 100 and FUJI NEOPAN 400 = LEGACY PRO 400. Is it really thrue ? In case YES, why FUJI sells own famous films under different names and lower prices ! Maybe, FUJI sells rest stocks ?! Does it mean that production of that films in future are questionable ?

No. Fuji sells film stock to another company at a cheaper price because Fuji doesn't have to pay to package and distribute that film. Freestyle uses a cheaper packaging and distributing model than Fuji, and can also afford to sell the film at a cheaper price.

Same thing happens with Kodak (Arista Premium) and Foma (Arista EDU.Ultra).

Very reasonable answer. The most important thing is that we have high quality b&w films. Package with famous brand is not important.

I buy 120 Acros for about $3 a roll from B&H.

If they are your favorite film, maybe there is good reason they are $5 a roll?

I am a beginner in film developing. I picked up a roll of legacy pro 100 but I haven't used it because I couldn't find a developing time for Marathon 9:1 (which my school uses) Is there a way to find out? obviously all the guide lines I found just had '-' .
