If the rumors are true and it will be completely out of production in October, I'll add some stock to the freezer in 35 and 120 roll.
You can translate this FujiFilm Notice

This translation kind of says only pro packs in 120 film

Neopan 100 ACROS 12 pictures 5 packs
But this translation kind of makes me think it's gone.

2. Future recommendations
Both black-and-white film and black-and-white printing paper will be discontinued for all types, so there are no recommended products for use.
One place I just ordered from restricted my quality to only 10 rolls.

MAYBE it is time to go back to the basics and do our own dry or wet plates, and go back to view cameras. I am experimenting with those and it is fascinating.

Acros is a staple for film astrophotographers due to its superior reciprocity characteristics; I was planning some future experimentation in this genre... I just placed my order, both 135 and 120.

Yeah, @cobbu2, I'll ocassionally do a metered 60 to 120 second exposures intentionally to streak water, remove people or both and the corrected exposure could be 8 to 18 minutes depending on film. Sometimes that's just too long to wait around especially if want to take more before the fading light is gone.

I'm going to miss it.

500C/M, CB 60/3.5, NDX400 + O2 Orange, 100 Acros.

Freestyle only lists 35mm and is out of stock. B&H only has respooled 620. Macodirect.de has a good selection (sheet, roll, and 35mm)...for now.

I've ordered some from Freestyle last week. I also placed orders from some other places too all in 120 roll. I'm only going to get so much of it and just shoot it sparingly.

Other than freestyle, the only place I’m finding it is a few sellers in Japan on eBay.

On that note... Has anyone been using the Svema films? I just received my 9 roll mix box of their black and white film. I hope to have some to post in the next couple of weeks.

The link I provided is still good and macodirect still shows stock. I have dealt with them before on film purchase and they are a pleasure to do business with. VAT is waived and shipping is not too bad.
