This destroys my world! _The Film Developing Cookbook_ Anchell & Troop Page 14: "Neopan 1600 is an interesting film. It appears to be an ISO 400 film with as much gelatin an d 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." >>>A lot of people i know are shooting it at 1600 and got having any >>>problems with thin shadows at all! I shoot a lot of this film in my F100, as well as Leicas. The F100 gives me thin negatives unless set for EI 800. With a hand held meter (incident, mostly) I use EI 1000.
