Feli,

That used to be my preferred combination until I tried Fuji Neopan 1600.
I have always shot both films at 1600, and I get much better tones,
better shadow details, better grain with the Fuji film. I have developed
it in both XTOL and DD-X, and also by a lab which uses Fuji Neopan
developer. In all cases, I have found Neopan to be the best of the three
high speed films.
