    Darren,

    does the Fuji Acros render snow well? Not that it really matters to me, since we never get much snow here other than on television.

    Fuji Acros is such a great film. If it was available in whole plate, I'd snap it up and betray my loyalties to Ilford FP4+ in an instant. Whereas I love FP4+ in whole plate, I'm less happy about it in smaller formats. Fuji Acros is just superb in 35mm Leica format all the way up to half-plate stuff.

    With the kind of material you've written in your blog with the photos, I think you should really re-work it into a magazine article and get it published...you know...push the quality of the reading material up a bit, rather than getting all of that overfiltered sunset stuff that they do.

    Bump bump for Darren's blog for all the illiterati out there

    I do not know about Acros and snow. the few sheets I use of it (maybe 12 per year) are always in the desert.

    Thanks for the kind comments on the blog. I do it for fun but maybe it will gather a following that could lead to an article sometime. I don't know where that road will lead and I am sure enjoying the journey.
