Interesting to see an individuals honest appraisal backed up by some real-world tests Ian, unfortunately it will do nothing to drain the swirling puddle inhabited by the conspiracy theorists and other woebegones and already I hear the sound of the wolves tuning up. 
Whatever the conspiracy theory Its good news for people who shoot and love the film process, When Fuji announced the demise of this film it was a sad day for thousands of people that love this film and another nail in analog photography’s coffin, to see it coming back, and does not matter a jot who is making it etc it’s a big thumbs up to Fuji for listening to its loyal users.
Now we've just got to hope they get as far as 5" x 4" sheet film
That would be the icing on the cake
Well, I can wait. I still have a couple of hundred sheets of QuickLoad in the freezer

Acros is unbelievably one of the few films I have never used, so I'm eager to have a go. However I either need a bigger fridge or stop buying food...
It's a really nice film, Alan, especially for long exposure photography, no reciprocity failure up to 2 mins, after that just add half the time, a great film for pinhole photography as well, as an example if I had a metered exposure time of 4 mins using say Ilford HP5, then added the reciprocity time for that film the exposure would be 1 hour 5mins, with Acros the time would be 6 mins

The long exposure properties are appealing. I am not too fussed about hanging around for lengthy exposures, however its the inadvertent camera shake that concerns me...
I have not used the newer version of Acros, by all accounts, it is very similar to the first version.
(Not about film as such. )
Re conspiracy theories .... I've nearly finished reading a book called "The skeptik's guide to the universe", by Steven Novella +??.
One of the most interesting books I've read for a long time and - for me - the section on conspiracy theories is one of the best.
Not for you if you believe in 'The umbrella man' (re JFK) conspiracy, homeopathy, mind-reading, ghosts, etc (or maybe it IS for you if you do)

I very much believe in homeopathy because of the evidence of my own eyes. I particularly dislike skeptics who are anti-homeopathy so I won't be looking at it.Not for you if you believe in 'The umbrella man' (re JFK) conspiracy, homeopathy, mind-reading, ghosts, etc (or maybe it IS for you if you do
