Acros Developer Suggestions

[Jim Graves]

Pretty much a personal choice ... I like it in Perceptol ... extraordinarily fine grain ... just depends on the "look" you're looking for.

I've been developing Acros sheets with good results using Jobo 2509N reels (6 sheets) with Xtol 1:3 with continuous agitation for the first minute and 5 seconds each minute thereafter for a total of 14.5 minutes @ 68F.

Great film. I can't wait for Jeff at Badger to get it back in stock!

I shoot Acros at EI 50 and have developed in HC110 Dilution B and in Pyrocat-HD 1+1+100 with very good results. I don't have my times at hand.

I'll second Jim on Perceptol. I use Perceptol 1+3 18 mins 45 seconds. Sweet, for a newbie.

I'll second Jim on Perceptol. I use Perceptol 1+3 18 mins 45 seconds. Sweet, for a newbie.

I heard Perceptol's characteristics are close to Fuji's recommended Microfine for Acros, so results should be good with those.

My personal choice is Rodinal @80 1+50 8:30 in a Jobo drum.

For those that use Xtol 1:3 and 1:1, what are your times please (rotation or tray)? I think I used 10min and 6:30 res. before (drum).

I use either D76 1:3, or Pyrocat HD 1:1:100, and I get an EI of 80 with both.
