hi Matt
Acros is my favourite medium-slow film. I like the fact that it has reasonably punchy contrast despite the speed, and I don't mind that it isn't quite as smooth as some of the alternatives, I like a slightly gritty look (my usual film for less sunny days is Tri-X). I'm not so keen on Neopan 400 or faster, they're very fussy about precise exposure and easily get far too contrasty.
Here's my favourite shot from this set, from a roll of Acros developed yesterday:

Hi Ian
that's a beautiful image. I can almost see the clouds moving slightly. Lovely DOF. I haven't yet used my 503cx for landscapes. I hope to get out this weekend to capture some broken down old sheds and homes for the Group 2009 Calendar. I will keep this film in mind. Are you suggesting that this film is suitable for overcast weather conditions?
