>From A+C - "Neopan 1600 is an interesting film. It appears to be an ISO 400 film with as much gelatin and hardener removed as possible. This allows the film to be developed for a shorter time with a slight gain in speed. The true speed of this film is close to EI 650, and the tonal scale is similar to Tri-X. However, it responds well to pushing." Other todbits of interest - Unlike TMZ and D3200, Neopan 1600 is not a t-grain type film. TMZ's true speed is around 800-100, D3200 is around 1000-1250. tv
