troyfreund Posted April 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey Folks, Does anyone out there have much experience with Fuji's Neopan 1600? I've used it a bit, but never to great satisfaction. I've shot it at 1600 and the negs look thin; I've shot it at 800 and the negs look a little better, but not thrilling. I usually use Rodinal (1:50) or HC110 (Dil for processing. Any thoughts on how to get some good results out of this film?

fotohuis Posted April 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted April 19, 2007 Neopan 1600 at E.I. 1600 in SPUR SLD: But in most developers Neopan 1600 will give an effective iso rate of 800. Welcome, dear visitor!

stunsworth Posted April 19, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 19, 2007 As Robert mentions the true speed of Neopan is somewhere between 600 and 800 - this is from memory, I don't have a data sheet to hand. I've had success shooting at 1600 and developing it in Xtol - this is for scanning. I can't say I ever thought the negatives were thin. Certainly it always seemed a higher contrast - and lower grained - alternative to Delta 3200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeplanter Posted April 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted April 19, 2007 I like Neopan 1600 a lot. Here's a shot taken a few weeks back in Times Square, NYC. Neopan 1600 at EI 800, in Xtol 1:1 for 7 minutes at 20 degrees C. Leica MP with 35mm Summicron ASPH, wide-open at F2.0. Welcome, dear visitor!

magd0328 Posted April 19, 2007 Share #7 Posted April 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) It works very well in Emofin to control the contrast and the grain is very fine. ID-11 gives good results, but often with too much contrast for easy printing. I have also had some success with microphen at 3200. However, I have hardly used this film since I started scanning with my Minolta 5400 (Mk I) - the scans have much more accentuated grain than prints from the same neg. I find Kodak 3200 much better with this scanner. It is crazy grainy, but has a much more pleasant look to it when scanned. Attached: 1st shot in Emofin, 2nd in microphen at 3200. Warning: neither of these pictures were taken with a Leica. Welcome, dear visitor!

rob_x2004 Posted April 24, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 24, 2007 Jiri, Welcome to the forum. Do you have any frames where 1600 comes into its own? These ones are ok but 100iso would have handled it far better maybe? Anyway, regardless, welcome to the forun hope to see a bit more of your stuff.

thrid Posted April 24, 2007 Share #10 Posted April 24, 2007 I think it works best around 800-1000. At 1600 the contrast gets a little high and you lose shadow detail. True speed is supposed to be around 640 asa. Fairly tight grain, for a high speed film. Personally I shoot Delta 3200 @ 1600, developed in Ilford DD-X. I believe the true speed of Delta3200 is around 1200asa. Does anyone out there shoot TMAX3200? Supposedly it also clocks in around 1000asa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True speed is supposed to be around 640 asa. Fairly tight grain, for a high speed film.... . not with the "right" developer.. ..in EMOFIN you will get the 1600 ASA with good shadows and highlight and the contrast is normal... regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Perhaps this one: 91-266-4 I used to have a 'Neopan 1600 period' and I shot with it almost exclusively. But it looked better in print that on my website.
