what did you develop neopan 1600 in ? Rodinal ? Use microphen or DDX or XTOL , if you haven't used already. Neopan 1600 is an awesome film ( that is when you get it right )

Thank you mer. I sent this roll out and do not know what was used, but will find out. Thank you.

About 2 months ago after I finished a roll of b&w ISO 100 film, right before I rewinded the film back, my friend called me. Chitchated for a while, I total forgot, thought I already rewinded the film, so I opened the film door. Felt pretty mad when I saw the film still in there exposed. Closed the film door right away, but still wasted about 10 shots

Here is the last one saved, a bit over exposed on the right side, but kinda like the grainy effect:

Both - Foma 400 developed in straight D76, SMC-A 28/2.8, Program Plus... the camera was running out of battery power so the exposures aren't what they should have been.

I haven't looked at this thread for a while (obviously), but artobest's picture of the girl with the string around her fingers is what cameras were invented for.

Grain-o-rama. Super Program (first test roll), M50/1.7, Fomapan 400 @200, F76+

Bigger negative, slower film. Pentax 67, 55/4, Acros, F76+

Sluggo -- that last one is really nice.

geauxpez · 12-05-2009, 07:21 AM

I can only hope that the GA Theater returns to its former glory.
Either Delta 400 or HP5, Olympus OM2n

Mads in windowlight. I don't remember what the deal was with her hair. HP5 at 800 Pentax LX.

Fantastic baby - the eyes, the expression - Super!

I think your baby might be the leader of some country one day

Thanks for the compliments -- we'll keep her!

I haven't had a chance to shoot any Neopan 1600 yet(got some in the freezer) but some of the shots I've seen, and from what I hear, the grain is not much worse than the 400 when developed right. It'll be the next roll i shoot, for sure.

A couple from Foma 400 in D76 straight, DA70 on a Program Plus, more or less wide open and slowish shutter speed, as it was dark out.
