It will be interesting to find out more about this film,

Doesn't look fake. I'm genuinely hyped. Maybe they will consider bringing 400 and 1600 as well ;-)

Yeah, from what Ive heard the reason Fuji discontinued the OG Acros was due to them haveing to update/upgrade their film machines in order to release Acros II, which Im not sure if the rumor for that is true or not.

But if it is, hopefully the prices for their color films goes down a bit because of it.

I don't see why Fuji would suddenly lower the price of their colour films, a few months after raising them, just because of re-releasing Acros. Why do you think that?

From what Ive read, Fuji came out saying that the price increase was to fund the R&D for Acros II, and since its pretty much already ready to be boxed & shipped out not thag long from now, they should go down a smidge. But truthfully I doubt they will.

Found some more info from the Emulsive website:

That's great news. I've still got 2 rolls of original Acros 135 in my freezer so I think I can safely use them now. It will be interesting to see how the Acros II differs because the original Acros was very good.
