Len,

I understand. I got off tangent a bit. Apparent sharpness is subjective.
I've seen image from film or pushed film that appear sharper than an
image from slow film. A lot of things come into play, as we all know.
OTOH, the ability to resolve line pairs is a more objective measure. I'd
be very surprised if Neopan 1600 could beat Neopan 400 on that front,
all things  equal except for EV. 

Speaking of Sharper Image, I see they filed Chapter 11 today.

Hi David,

You are 100% right. But film grain is not the issue. We are just  
contesting a statement that a ISO 1600 film is as sharp as a ISO 400  
film and grain enters into the equation.

Best,
Len
