Here's a couple of daytime Acros shots. They're actually pretty nice. I did
them recently because I was out of Ilford and was pretty pleasantly
surprised. Nicer than I got years ago with Acros...I didn't like it much
before except for long exposures.

I expose it at EI 50, and develop in Rodinal 1+50 for 11 minutes. 68
degrees. Agitate first 30 sec, then 3 inversions each minute. I use metal
tanks, if that makes a difference. I have a PDF data sheet from Fuji that
says the reciprocity correction is not needed till a 2 minute exposure, then
the correction is +1/2 stop. That applies to all exposures from 120 seconds
to 1000 seconds! That's over 16 minutes!
