I did not like the sound of that for some reason. And to me "professional" film means its got a dull base for retouching. Also I was very excited about the brand new Neopan Across 100 being my "high Res" film which replaced Delta 100 as such. And the film which was in my street camera all the time was and is Neopan 1600. So if i was using their 100 and 1600 why not retry their 400? Well it's a little unclear as to if it is a flat grain film or not and if I'm going to use an old fashioned round grained film I might as well use Tri X. But i tried it and liked it. Seemed to separate better than todays Tri X. So now in terms of black and white I'm a lean mean green machine.
