I think this is sort of a matter of taste. I find Neopan 1600 negs shot at 1600 to be thin to my taste, so I shoot it at 800, and it's fine in D76 and Rodinal (a bit better in D76). I could probably live with the negatives at 1600, they just didn't seem as nice and thick like I like. Others might prefer thinner negatives, as they do tend to be sharper and less grainy. Pete p.s. If I recall, Ralph Gibson shoots this stuff and purposely overexposed and overdevelops like crazy to make negatives that he likes. Go figure. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
