where the Us are shallow scoops; there's also a circle punched through, as shown...
Re: notch on Fuji Acros 8X10
I thought that little punched through circle was only used on 4X5 Fuji Acros 100 Quickloads.
Never noticed it on my 4X5 and 8X10 Acros sheet films.
It's been a while since I used Fuji Acros, and I don't remember the notch codes for those films. However, I always processed the Acros sheets in the same developer (Pyrocat-HC), and for the same developing times, that I used for HP-5+ and FP-4+. It came out just fine.
Re: notch on Fuji Acros 8X10
Many thanks, Richard and Gem. I'll compare the pattern with the film I have - I suspect it is Acros. On the film I noticed that the notches were very shallow, much shallower than those on the Ilford films, so that also makes sense. No punched hole, but sounds like there shouldn't be on Acros sheet film other than on the readyload version, acc. to Gem.
Gratefully in Seattle,

Re: notch on Fuji Acros 8X10
I checked the film notch image on the Acros 8x10 box and besides the notch, it does show the hole in the film just below the notch.
Re: notch on Fuji Acros 8X10
I dug out a developed Acros 8X10 negative, and by gosh, there is a tiny hole in the film. It is located in the clear rebate just below, and alongside, the notches. Hardly noticeable, unless you are looking for it.
The notch code consists of two small "U"'s followed by another small "U" about a quarter inch to the left. looking at the emulsion side of the film in the vertical position.
Please excuse my senior moment.
