The curve you show is the spectral sensitivity. It doesn't have to do with reciprocity.

Interesting review!
The way it deals with long exposure and the high amount of details it captures intrigues me so I picked up a couple of rolls of this film in 120 to shoot in an old TLR camera.
I have seen negatives of the original ACROS I emulsion, that I think also had this orthopancrhomatic spectral response. It seems that it rendered skin details beautifully. The ACROS II emulsion apparently is more contrasty than the original, which is an interesting detail. Seems that it is a Fuji emulsion (or one made to Fuji's spec) that is coated and finished in England (probably at Harman/Ilford) but has nothing to do with any of the Ilford/Kentmere products though.
If you look at your negatives, is the film base slightly purple?

This film I must try! Thanks for a great video.

I’ve shot primarily T-max for years. I shot Acros II for the first time last year and was blown away, it’s fantastic in both 35mm and 120. Hi resolution, low grain, good latitude. It’s a great tool.

Acros II in 120 medium format is just fantastic.

I just oicked up a roll of this accidentally at my local shop. Might have to go back for more.
