Has there been a huge change in Neopan 1600 in the past 7-8 years? I recall it as having been no contest, all right, but because the Neopan seemed to have fist-sized clumps of grain by comparison to TMZ. I had it filed in my head as something to reach for if I thought a picture would look best with serious grain (but I didn't want to go so far as to trot out the Tri-X in Dektol trick). -Jeff
