For Blog 151 I already have a superb subject. 'PhotoRumors' site is carrying a posting from B & H, the NY retailer, for the latest incarnation of an old favourite, Fuji Neopan Professional Acros II , 100 ASA, withdrawn in 2018. Already launched in Japan last year it has arrived in US a little later than expected.
The promotional details include the fine grain and smooth tonal rendering that have always been a selling point. Fuji also claim that it incorporates 'Precision Iodine Distribution Control' technology to assist in small tank processing. It is a much revised emulsion following withdraw of the old version which suffered manufacturing difficulty.
It as good to see a fresh introduction from this giant in the same way that Ilford Harman Ortho was recently launched. Another clear sign that Film lives on and is attracting keen users. No doubt it will get over here in due course but will have keen competition even in today's contracted market.
