I have found Agfa's times to be reliable, and the e.i. also reliable. The speed loss quoted for Neopan 1600 is the highest quoted. They also quote speed loss for Neopan 400 so it seems Fuji films and Rodinal are not good for pushing ;-) BTW they also quote speed gains, e.g for HP5 an e.i. of 640 is quoted My own experience with this film is with Xtol 1+1 and here Kodak's times are good starting points but YMMV depending on how accurate your thermomenter is etc etc..
