Only once it went thru the machine but I could not see any problems. This was in London and they said it was safe for films up to 3200 ASA. One thing to note is that N1600 should not be left exposed and undeveloped for too long, up to 1 month should be OK, I think. Once, when I wasn't able to develop it for 2 months, it looked a bit fogged, especially at the beginning of the roll. But the prints were OK. And yes, you might be able to pull 20 x 24 prints out of it (shooting with Leica glass, to keep on topic). I did 16 x 20 prints and they looked great (BTW, the film was developed in TMax 1+4 or 1+7).
