Oh yeah I forgot about that.

  T-MAX 100?

It's very comparable, and they say Acros is better. Many think Acros
is about 1/2 stop slower than TMX though.

> And, does Acros have similar UV filtering laters like T-MAX 100?

I didn't check.

> Finally is Acros available as a ready load?

No. I checked at Fujifilm's Japanese web site, but they don't have
b&w sheet film in quick load. (They only sell Acros 100 and Neopan
Ortho in sheet sizes.)
