How they work together

Rodinal
Prominent grain, high acutance, full film speed, variable contrast. Sharp, dramatic, distinct edge effects.
Fujifilm Neopan Acros II
Ultra-high image quality with world's finest grain among ISO 100 films. Fine-Sigma grain technology with exceptional reciprocity. Since 2019, coated and packaged by Harman (Ilford) in UK, though emulsion believed to still be Fujifilm.
Notes on this pairing
  • Higher contrast.
  • Stand development: Agitate first minute, then leave undisturbed for 1 hour.
