Topic: Replacement for Neopan SS?

[Flippy]

So this might be an odd question, but since Neopan SS has not been widely available in the U.S. for several years, I can't find anybody discussing on what a good replacement for it might be (most have assumed it was discontinued years ago).

Although I love Acros 100, and in many respects it is a better film than SS was... I still like SS a lot, my second most favorite film after Plus-X... it's been a hard year. 

What is out there still that has that traditional grain look? Lucky? Foma? Ilford? Should I drop the nostalgia and just accept the sleekness of Acros? Maybe somebody has a bulk roll of Neopan hiding somewhere?

hm... never tried neopan ss myself but I can understand your plea for grain

personally, I've become a fan of kentmere for when I want that look~

what format are you looking for btw?

[Flippy]

35mm primarily although if it is in 120 that's great too.  Kentmere looks pretty great to me, I'm going to give it a try.

Jonas, that look was truly amazing! The Bokeh/film grain reminds me somewhat of seeing trough an icy windscreen.
what kind of lens was this shoot trough?

flippy: glad to hear it happy shooting~

aksel: thanks! it was most probably shot through a MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f1.7 on my minolta sr-t 101
