We have shot a decent amount of the new FujiFilm Acros II 100 and absolutely love it!
Having shot a lot of the new FujiFilm Acros II 100, it’s definitely a favorite of ours, but at $12 a roll, it can be pretty pricey. We compared it to the Ilford FP4 Plus 125 which is nearly half the price. While we continue to prefer the Acros 100, the Ilford FP4 Plus 125 has a similar look. Both stocks have a very fine grain, medium contrast, and beautiful tones!
These portraits were taken with the same camera and lens – Pentax 67 – 105mm f/2.4 and metered with sekonic L-308s incident meter.
What’s the Best Film?
The most comprehensive index of film types; characteristics, examples, and reviews.
While it’s true that medium format makes all film look very good, but the differences are not only noticeable in this post (depending on your monitor size and resolution) but from looking at the original files, you can see the same differences in the full resolution scans on a high res monitor, as well as the BW prints on true B&W silver gelatin paper. Additionally, we have seen similar side-by-side comparisons in 35mm and they’re very close, which is why we did this comparison, to see if we could see a difference in 120.
FAQ

Recommended developer? Can I use Ilford DD-X and get great results?
You can Ilford DD-X!! In fact, both stocks were developed in IlfoTech DDX which works great for both stocks.
Are both photos metered at box speed or at 100?
These were metered at Godspeed. We did shot a second shot for the FP4 using the 100iso metering and there wasn’t a noticeable difference so you would likely get the same results shooting both at 100.
