Acros II is extremely fine grain with a wide tonal range. The film is an excellent choice for landscapes, macro, and fine art applications, anything where a lack of film grain is desired.
Grant Park's North Rose Garden
Neopan was originally a family of black-and-white films from Japanese manufacturer Fujifilm. Now in 2024, only one film remains: Neopan ACROS 100 II, a traditional silver halide black and white film re-launched in 2019 and currently sold worldwide.

Shouldn't these be in the "Black and White Photography" section?

I like the look of the Acros. It's a great choice for this subject. It must have been a windy day. It seems like the buildings in the first shot are blowing over as they are tilting towards the center. (Just kidding!)

These are quite beautiful Paul. It is a shame that Kodak no longer makes CN400BW film. I have one or two rolls left from my Canon EOS Rebel 2000. It would do the fountain an amazing tribute in creamy sepia tones.
