One more quickie- Personal Experiences of Fuji Neopan 1600..

I have read epinions, photographyreview, etc opinions of this film and
am wondering who's using it and *how* they're using it. I've been
hearing a lot of people shoot this a stop down and i'm also interested
in peoples *real* experiences with the latitude of the film. I've been
shooting tmz3200 forever and i've been hearing that 3200 @ 1600 is
hugely more responsive than the neopan 1600. But seeing that these are
as far as I know the fast commercial bw films available I'd really
interested in seeing any alternatives.


Thanks much,
sd

There is also Ilford Delta 3200. After trying the Kodak and Ilford fast
B/W choices, I found I got better results with the Ilford film, but only
using Ilford developer. To get to 1600 ISO, the best solution I have found
so far is to use Kodak TMX 400, then shoot and develop as an ISO 1600
film. If you really want ISO 1600, you might give that a try as well, or
try some of the Ilford.
