Someone once told me that Neopan 1600 is really just 800 speed film with a 'one-stop push' on the label - not sure if that's true but I always thought it could make some sense. Unfortunately in that club it is very hard to use 800 as it is quite dark. In that club I used to try to keep the lights in the shots too - with the smoke I could get some lovely beams. Now the club has gone smoke free which I LOVE, except for my lovely beams ;) Dave
