        Am I the only one on this list with the good taste and good sense to
use Fuji Neopan???!!!!  :^)

        Neopan SS100, 400 and 1600 is the ONLY reason (and now Agfa Scala) I
went back to shooting black & white in 35mm.  The tonal range is far better
then Ilford or Kodak ... even when processed in T-Max developer! ...you
should see it in Rodinol!

...an excellant combination for lazy guys like me. Great results, no hassle,
beautiful negs and easy print making!
