This is the poor persons SummiNoct. Most of the time i've shot it at 1600 and it performs very well. The only time i was disappointed in its performance was when i decided to try a brief foray into using a flash with it. Ugh, it was ugly, but i think that has more to do with my skills with a flash than anything else. The 1600 with the 28 or 50 DR for M, were my favourites by far, but even with these maximum apertures you've got yourself a great low-light combination with the Neopan. Give it a go! Take care, Gary Nathan wrote: "I would assume that Neopan 1600 is similarly optimistically rated." "The difficulty now is that unexceptional adults believe the loss of youthful dreaming is itself "growing up," as though adulthood were the passive conclusion to a doomed activity and hope during adolescence."
