So far i run that in Rodinal and get an extreme grain effect. Some day I'll have to do that test but here at ProPhoto, Neopan 1600 is several bucks cheaper per roll, comes in 10 roll bricks, and i like the green on the package. The lower $$$ is makes it closer to my heart from the get go. The T Max would have to knock my socks off to get me to switch. Don't like 20 roll bricks. Don't like the way the boxes look. With all kinds of people like Ralph Gibson using the Neopan 1600 I think I'm OK for the time being. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
