Wrong list to ask about real film issues.
They've gone over to the chip side.

I think the "thinness" is a possible adjustment for scanning. I've  
seen a source for this, but can't recall where. I tended to print on  
3 or 3? on the old stuff, and still print about there with the new  
stuff.
What do you call a large tank?
An 8 35mm reel tank, or 4 reel 120, is not considered a large tank,  
even though one is using ? gal of chemistry.
I find that I still have to pull my processing, as I shoot 400 at  
200, due to the high contrast in So Cal.
But Shooting Neopan 400 at 200, and 1600 at 800, still requires full  
processing time, if not longer depending on the situation.
