This is why I love Freestyle so much. Along with the Arista Premium films it's nice to have choices with films when one is on a budget (and really, aren't most of us these days?) along with all the other traditional items they stock. Definitely one of the best reasons to live in LA is because one can walk into their store. I do at least once a week it seems. Now then one quick question - I seem to recall the 100 Across is a T-grained film. True?

From what I understand, Acros is not a T-grained film.

It's a modern technology grained film. It may not be tabular grain exactly, but it's definitely not traditional (SS100).
Stop worrying about grain, resolution, sharpness, and everything else that doesn't have a damn thing to do with substance. http://www.flickr.com/kediwah

Acros/LegacyPro is not a T-grained film in the same sense that T-Max is, but it does look a lot like one. Very tight grain, very sharp, and a good tonal range. Definitely not in the Plus-X or FP4 vein.

The Fuji version is called Sigma Grain. It's a T-grain type film.

Hmmm...sounds like it might be fun to pick up a few rolls to try out. I have HC-110 and Rodinal on hand. Other then flipping a coin to decide which developer to start with, any reason one may be better then the other?
Thanks,
Marc

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.
I don't see 120 being available as packaging is more involved it seems to me...custom backing papers have to be bad. But who knows. I'd like some Arista Premium 400 in 120, please. Fuji films are already cheap...2.89/120roll from Calumet.
