Hi Frank, Your comments below reminded me of something I've wanted to mention a few times. Neopan 1600 is not a true 1600 speed (ISO) film. It's true speed is more like 800 - 1000. In other words, shooting it at 3200 is actually more than a one stop push - more on the order of two stops. May I humbly suggest that if you expose the film @ 1600 in contrasty situations, such as the ice rink or at parties, you'll get better results (better meaning more shadow detail, less contrast, better highlight control) than when shooting it @ an EMI (exposure index) of 3200.
