Fuji Acros 100 II 120: Nighttime Perfection in Medium Format
Capturing the night with a medium format camera demands the highest photochemical technology. The Fuji Acros 100 II 120 is the undisputed pinnacle of analog resolution. This film roll delivers such clinical sharpness that grain completely disappears in your negatives. It is the definitive choice for long exposure landscapes, monumental architecture and studio portraits in 6×6 or 6×7.
What makes Fuji Acros 100 II medium format special?
Its worldwide uniqueness lies in its immunity to time. It possesses unsurpassed behavior against reciprocity failure. You can expose the film for up to 120 seconds without making calculations or mathematical compensations. In addition, its Super Fine-Sigma grain technology, combined with the immense surface of the 120 format, offers a three-dimensionality and tonal purity unattainable for other ISO 100 emulsions.

Technical Specifications and Basic Comparison
Mastering this Japanese gem requires knowing its precise chemical architecture. We break down the exact technical x-ray of this premium film roll.
- Format: Medium Format (120).
- Nominal sensitivity: ISO 100 / 21°.
- Emulsion type: Orthochromatic black and white (Super Fine-Sigma).
- Base support: Very docile cellulose triacetate.
- Development: Standard B/W chemistry.
| Feature | Fuji Acros 100 II 120 | Kodak T-Max 100 120 |
|---|---|---|
| Reciprocity Failure | None up to 120 seconds | Moderate from 1 second |

Technical Variables of the Film
- Contrast and Tonal Range: Balanced and exquisite contrast. It displays superb tonal separation in the mid-grays, delivering incredibly silky portraits.
- Spectral Sensitivity: Slightly orthopanchromatic. It reduces the capture of the red spectrum, subtly darkening blue skies without the need to mount aggressive filters.
- Grain Structure: Super Fine-Sigma technology. Grain does not exist to the naked eye in medium format. It is the pinnacle of visual purity at ISO 100.
- Acutance: Monumental. Architectural micro-details are cut with astonishing clinical precision across the entire surface of the negative.
- Resolution (Resolving Power): Absolute (200 lines per millimeter). It withstands drum scans and gigantic mural enlargements with total integrity.
- Push/Pull Flexibility: Very low. It is a purist and demanding film. It should never be pushed; it requires exposure at its nominal ISO to shine.
- Base Support and Antihalation Layer: High-quality acetate base that handles perfectly and a powerful antihalation coating against reflections.

Development Times for Fuji Acros 100 II 120 (at 20°C)
Japanese purity demands strict control in the tank. We show the verified lab times for processing this large format without errors.
| Developer | Dilution | Exposed ISO | Time (Minutes) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kodak XTOL | Stock (Pure) | 100 | 7.5 min |
| Kodak D-76 / ID-11 | Stock (Pure) | 100 | 7.5 min |
| Kodak HC-110 | Dilution B | 100 | 5.5 min |
| Adox Rodinal | 1+50 | 100 | 13.5 min |
Camera Market Pro Tip: Choosing the life-giving liquid
We frequently receive negatives of Fuji Acros 100 II 120 developed in Rodinal from customers seeking “extreme acutance,” resulting in harsh grain that ruins the smoothness of the medium format.
The master lab technique: Super Fine-Sigma technology already provides monumental sharpness on its own. You don't need aggressive non-solvent chemicals. If you want to unlock the authentic Japanese magic of this film (silky grays, creamy transitions and a total absence of noise), always process it in Kodak XTOL or D-76. These developers will protect the fineness of its crystals, delivering 6×6 portraits that will look sculpted in marble.

Physical Behavior and Scanability
We address the greatest ergonomic triumph of this base, representing a true joy for those who digitize at their own desk.
Planarity (Film Curling)
The triacetate support used in the 120 format by Fujifilm is simply glorious. After drying, the thick strip stays absolutely rigid and flat like glass. It lacks the annoying longitudinal bowing of other brands. Feeding the negative holders of your Epson scanner will be an agile and pleasant process, guaranteeing clinical focus from corner to corner.
Inversion profiles (Scanning)
Inverting the Acros II in Negative Lab Pro is a piece of cake. Its clean base free of strange dyes allows you to set the black point instantly. Apply linear emulation profiles. Its vast tonal scale will give you a TIFF file full of information in the highlights, ready to apply micro-contrast without revealing noise.
At the Limit: Extreme Exposure and the Zone System
Discover the nocturnal superpower of this roll and its inflexible chemical intolerances.
Reciprocity Failure
This is its invincible and legendary territory. The Fuji Acros II suffers no reciprocity failure in exposures of up to 120 seconds (2 minutes). If your light meter dictates 2 minutes, you expose for exactly 2 minutes. For massive exposures between 2 and 16 minutes, you only add half a stop (+1/2 stop). It is the undisputed King of night photography, dense ND filters and medium format pinhole.
Extreme Push and Pull
It despises pushing with all its being. Pushing this emulsion to ISO 400 destroys its exquisite midtones and generates a wild and unmanageable contrast. It is a sacrilege to push it. However, it wonderfully supports being shot at ISO 80 or 64 (Pull), further expanding the rich detail of its shadows in harsh landscapes.
Dynamic Range Map
It offers superb highlight retention; it is frankly difficult to irreversibly blow out a cloudy sky. However, it is intolerant to severe underexposure. If you fall short of photons, the shadows will fall to black very quickly. Always meter the light with caution, prioritizing the reading in the dark areas.

Camera Market Pro Tip: The secret of orthopanchromatism
Many landscape photographers use dense red filters with the Fuji Acros 100 II 120 out of pure inertia, obtaining unreal black skies and a contrast so wild that it ruins the atmosphere of the photo.
The optical reality: This Japanese emulsion is not strictly normal panchromatic; it is orthopanchromatic. It has a native sensitivity slightly reduced to the red spectrum. Therefore, the Acros II already darkens blue skies and subtly enhances textures by itself. If you use a soft yellow filter, you will achieve the same dramatic sky that you would get with an orange filter on a Kodak film. Forget strong red filters unless you are looking for an ultra-high-contrast, almost infrared effect.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fuji Acros 100 II 120 (FAQ)
What is reciprocity failure and why does it make this film roll unique?
Almost all films lose sensitivity in long exposures (more than 1 second), forcing you to calculate extra times. The Fuji Acros 100 II is unique in the world: it maintains its sensitivity intact up to 120 seconds. It is, without a doubt, the best film for night photography and long exposure with a tripod.
Is Fuji Acros 100 II or Kodak T-Max 100 better in medium format?
Both are the pinnacle of resolution. The Acros II stands out for its handling of long exposures, its silky grays and a perfectly flat drying that facilitates scanning. The T-Max 100 has a somewhat more "clinical" micro-contrast. The choice depends on whether you are looking for daytime technical precision or freedom at night.
What is the difference between the original Acros and the Acros 100 II?
After discontinuing the original version, Fujifilm resurrected the emulsion in this version II, improving the tonal gradation in the highlights. It maintains its famous superfine grain technology and its legendary immunity to reciprocity failure, offering the same premium quality as always.
How much does it cost to process this premium medium format at Camera Market?
Despite being an exclusive film, we apply our standard lab rate for manual black and white development in 120 format. We use high-end chemicals such as XTOL to preserve its ultra-fine grain. Check our website to add the TIFF scanning service.
Can I push Acros 120 to ISO 400?
It is not recommended. The chemistry of this film is designed for maximum fineness at ISO 100. Pushing it to ISO 400 would result in excessive contrast and shadows without detail (blocked up). To obtain the spectacular results this emulsion offers, the ideal is to always shoot it at its nominal sensitivity.
