I have always shot Neopan 1600 straight at 1600 and have never had a

Not trying to be contentious, Rei, but i thought i knew my A&T backwards
and forward could you give me a page number on that Neopan being a
modified 400 ASA film and really being 640-800? This destroys my world!

A lot of people i know are shooting it at 1600 and got having any
problems with thin shadows at all!
