Hi Marc and Rolleiphiles;

Here is another film to try under low light conditions.  Fuji Neopan 1600
developed in Diafine.  This is a true 1600 speed B&W film with good shadow
detail.  Diafine yields EI of 2400 although I prefer to meter at 1600 and get
a little more density.  Excellent contrast not at all flat, moderate grain.
We have been selling lots for basketball/volleyball  shooters in indoor
arenas.  Sorry, 35mm only

If you do not need as much speed and want longer tonal scale with great shadow
detail, try Neopan 400, better than the old tried and true Tri-X.  35mm or
120.

Best Wishes, Mike Stoesz, Laramie, Wy
