Quickload 4x5 B/W Acros Film Comparisons'

[tgtaylor]

I really liked 4x5 Acros...Unfortunately, Fuji punches a small hole in the corner of the film (for hanging the film up to dry). The hole is in the image area, and is the sole reason that I never bought any more.

I LOVE that little hole! I bend open one side of an ordinary paper clip and stick it thru the hole and attach the clip to a wooden clothes pin and hang them up to dry in a wardrobe for dresses that I bought at Wal-Mart for $6. In fact, six sheets are in there right now.

BTW, I use to use ready loads but now use sheet film with Toyo holders exclusively. Silky smooth and cost less too! I found that Fuji QL's work just as good in a Kodak RL holder as Kodak QL's.

Great film. I use either the QL or plain sheets. I rate it at 80 in either D-76 or Pyrocat. That's one of the things I like about it! I've used it in 8x10 too, when I could get it. It's great for indoor, natural light exposures too, where the reciprocity benefits make it the only practical choice.
