Got around to shooting a test roll of Neopan 1600, and while I was experimenting decided to give Pyrocat HD a try. The shots were nothing special, but the film/developer combination really surprised me, especially since I just guessed at the development times. I was expecting chalk and soot tonality and big clumps of grain, what I got was completely the opposite.
