Frank, >From what I've seen of Neopan - I've shot and processed a few rolls as well as Delta 3200 - I prefer the way Neopan looks at EI's around 1200 - 1600. I like Delta 3200 at higher speeds, like 3200.
By all means, experiment with them all at some point. It's nice to know what your "available dark" options are .... at least until you get that Noctilux. BTW, with all the bellyaching some of the people hare are doing about grain, I gotta think back to the days when high speed meant Kodak 2575 Recording Film (it was considered a "surveillance" film). I used to develop that in Acufine with an EI of, iirc, 1200 or 1600 ... man, these new emulsions are like Panatomic X or APX 25 compared to the old 2475, which had grain the size of golf balls. BTW, I still have a half dozen or more rolls of 2475 in the freezer ... Hmmm .... might make an interesting experiment one night.
