My times are slightly shorter than Don's (more in the 15 minute-range) but that is probably because I use a Jobo with continuous agitation. It is in my view the best B&W film available. The SS is good if you like huge grain. It is not the same as Acros, and the two B&H links make it clear since they include a picture of the box.
