It is a wonderful long scale film that holds detail across maybe nine stops when developed in Xtol 1:3 for around 17 minutes at 68F. You will find extremely fine grain but not a lot of contrast, especially edge contrast a la Rodinal and Tri-X. Like most modern films you can find printable detail in what appears to be almost clear base. Even really thin negatives can produce reasonable images. Chris was correct, if the ad does not explicitly say that it is Acros, then you are getting a really old Fuji emulsion that is not in the same league.
