Or have you just read something others have said? I use Neopan 1600 at 1600 and soup it in XTOL 1:1 and get very good results. This at 1600, or occasionally @ 3200 I use for indoor shooting and the grain is quite good as 11X14 prints. However, one is always looking to improve their quality so why would this film be sold and advertised as 1600 when in actual fact you say it's really 640? Boy in that case I have a great number of massively under exposed negatives even though they print very well . ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
