I shot an alternative fashion show with it in my Leica, winder and a 24mm lens and a Metz flash holding my camera up only 2 or 3 feet from the models. I was right up against the runway leaning over. There is no grain to focus on. These puppies will blow up as big as the wall. I'm not even tested out on any slow films the ones which are left. Like Pan F (ASA 50). But a test is overdue to find out how much better or worse the ACROS is over the Pan F. After all it's only a stop we're talking about here. Still walking around shooting 35mm hand held ASA 100 is less common but certainly still happens. But walking around shooting 35mm hand held ASA 50 would seem daunting to just about anyone.
