I regularly overexpose Acros by several stops, because my Pen doesn't have a meter. I don't necessarily pull development either. It works fine and gives lovely shadow detail.

That is good stuff there, thanks. I am interested because I bought ten rolls, and there they are in the freezer, waiting for spring. Do you know if this film will take pyro stain?

I shoot Acros at 50 and find that is just right for shadow detail based on the way I meter. I don't think it's a pull, but more the correct speed. Adding an extra stop (25) does no harm, but doesn't add much either for normal light.

Best to test it yourself with your favorite developer.

I shoot the re-branded stuff from Freestyle (generally believed to be Acos) at iso50 and soup in Rodinal 1+100 with standard agitation for 12 min. Negs come out looking nice.

Been using up a stash of Acros 100 in QuickLoads and developing the sheets in 510-pyro. Yes, this film does take pyro stain. Just watch the fix stage, as over fixing will reduce the stain.
