My 400 speed 35mm flim I've been using for over a year is Neopan 400. Although not a tab grain film it seems to be as fine grained and sharp as Delta 400 or Tmax 400. But it seems to have a glowing tonality with Xtol 1:3. I use so much Neopan 1600 so much of the time and for my "high rez" stuff I drop to the 100 which is called ACROS of course. Which should be their ad campaign. What kind of film does a man who reads Playboy shoot? "ACROS of course!" Kind of sounds like the 60s! But when I run out of the 1600 stuff which I think of as "normal" and shoot some of the 400 I'm always shocked by sharpness. I feel like I've already gone to the high rez spread. -- Mark Rabiner Portland Paparazzo http://rabinergroup.com/ nolo contendere and hold the anchovies No Archive
