The new acros is imo one of the best on the market right now. Beautiful film.

I have recently looked for Acros II in 120 and none of the stores I checked has it fresh. The freshest I could find is dated 11/2021.

Is this film in this format phased out?

Not that it helps you in Poland, but B&H in the US has it. No mention of it being outdated and it's in stock as of March 12, 2022.

So is Delta 100/400, and it's half the price.

Yes, you're right about Delta films and the to high of a price for Fuji thing. I just stocked up with about 31 rolls of 120 Acros II. That never would have happened if the big stores in N.Y. (Brooklyn) hadn't had the big "out-of-date" sale. I just ran a roll of Delta 400 through my old Kodak Medalist II and all I can say is that I wish Delta 400 came in 4X5 sheets. It's pretty hard to beat, if it can be beat, Kodak's TMY2 for a 400 speed film. There we go with the higher price again. Still not as bad as Acros II Rich folks have all the choices, but us poor folk are limited to the plain vanilla stuff. JohnW

I have also checked Fotoimpex and Macodirect in Germany, Fotoimpex has stock dated 11/2021 and Maco has none. NTphotoworks and Analogue Wonderland in UK have no stock. Retrocamera in Belgium has no stock. Ars Imago in Italy has few rolls dated 11/2021. eBay search shows that when sellers disclose expiry date, it's also 11/2021 or older.

Has anyone here bought a roll of 120 Acros ii recently, either in Europe or US, with better date than 11/2021?
