Acros II 100: Where?

[Henning Serger]

I'd be very interested to see your results Henning. Provided it has similar grain/resolution/acutance to the original, its lower blue sensitivity could be useful for landscape photography.

No problem, I will report my test results here when I have finished the test series.
But please have a bit patience, it will need some weeks. Also because I have currently so much work in my job.

Best regards,
Henning

A lot of fuss over nothing, in my opinion. Those of us who appreciate the special characteristics of ACROS will continue to buy it. Markets are complicated sometimes, and it's not my responsibility to figure them out. I'm just rooting for continuing availability.

B&H is stocking it as of today, but it appears to be the original Acros for 11.99 per roll. They my be using old graphics and description as it may indeed be the new formulation.

Looks like they have the updated image for the 35mm film, as I think that's the new packaging. I'm guessing the 120 is also the new version but they haven't updated the verbiage or images yet.

The B&H page I just looked at shows a 5 pack of 120 for $11.99. Isn't there a law that says they must honour the price they advertise it at, even if its a mistake?

I also like in the key features section that it says it has a "broad tonal range" What the hell does that actually mean?

No, that is the price for one roll. Try to READ.

The last line of the description - "This item is one roll of 120 format roll film." - does not appear on my screen unless I click on the "More Details" link.
In most cases it is not the law that a retailer must honour a mistake in an ad, because an advertisement isn't considered as an offer, but rather an "invitation to treat". In some cases there are local laws that do require such a price be honoured, and many retailers have a practice of honouring them, but that is a business decision.
Intentional "bait and switch" techniques are illegal in a lot of jurisdictions.

It's not. From the Q&A link for that listing:

Do you have Acros 100 II ?

Not yet, we are waiting but don't have a date yet.

Only if you click “more details”
The first page you come to shows a 5 box of film with a single roll price... simple.
