Here is another vote for Neopan 1600. I used it for many of the  
nighttime shots in Seville in 2003-4. When I did my own developing, I  
used XTOL 1+1, but later, after moving from Switzerland to the  
Netherlands in the summer of 2003, I just let a pro lab in Amsterdam  
develop my films, and they use a Fuji developer of some sort for  
everything. No matter, Neopan 1600 still gave me better results than  
eithe TMZ or Ilford Delta 3200.
