Pic(k) of the week 28: DESERT TREES - ACROS II ANALOG FILM
Over the last 9 months I've shot a number of rolls of analog film on a few different cameras which I managed to borrow from friends. All was part of a project to see if shooting film full time was still worth it for me in 2020 after having started this way more than 30 years ago!
Although I enjoyed the experience, I've come to the conclusion that for now I will stay 100% digital. The last roll of film I shot were 12 exposure of medium format 120 Fujifilm ACROS II, allowing me to finally put the word "film" back into Fujifilm. Not a coincidence that ACROS is also my favorite digital Film simulation when it comes to shooting digital!
Like the original ACROS, the analog film is sharp, mildly contrasty with a very fine grain structure. Although it was first released in Japan end of 2019, it seems the film is made in the UK. At an average 12,-USD for a roll of 120 Acros II it is not cheap. That makes it one dollar per frame, before development and about double if one tak…
