I shoot Neopan 1600 at 1600 using both M's and SL's using the meter to pick a middle gray or choosing a tone I want to be whatever and adjusting up or down to deliver the tone. I find that the relatively thin negatives print best and that there is an amazing amount of detail hiding down in the toe. To the good the thin negatives also display the least amount of grain. I find that Neopan 1600 doesn't respond well to overexposure at all, going a little muddy and getting nearly as grainy as the faux 3200 speed films. I think that the next time the LUG meets somewhere some of us should bring negatives and the end prints so that we can see for ourselves what is going on.
