This year I'm going between Neopan 1600 to 100. If i had to standardize I'd go out and buy a brick of the 400 which I'm planning on doing soon anyway and just shoot that. I don't' even have a time on it yet. And run it in Xtol 1:3. I'd expect it too look almost as good as a 100 speed film; like Plus x or FP4 in D76 1:1. But i expect to be stocking all three speeds of Neopan film this year; 100, 400, and 1600. And using them at the speed indicated on the box by the way. 100, 400, and 1600.
