Steve,
At 1600 it is very very hard to beat Fuji Neopan 1600. It's a film I
wouldn't be afraid to use all the time. It handles wonderfully in Xtol.
You get your shadow-detail, smooth mid-tones and nice highlights. You're
not pushing it, your just handling it the way it was made to be. Almost
all my b/w from November to Feb/March is Neopan 1600.

Daniel
