I do a thing where i run TMZ in Rodinal for a mezzo grain effect which looks incredibly sharp. When i do this with the Neopan it several times less grainy, not a grain effect at all. I'd assume from this that Neopan is less grainy but in Xtol i don't know. Neopan i don't think is a tab grain film. But an old fashioned film. I just got a ten pack of it though. mark rabiner Portland, Oregon updated temporary Website by "Foxy": http://spokenword.to/rabiner/ (consisting of late night E-mail descriptions of photos)
