I sent a message in support of neopan 1600.. Suppose it doesn't come back, what film/dev combination will get me close?

Actually Dante Stella have a nice recommendation about this:

I like what I see from the example for the neopan 1600 look. But to be honest I love that film because of the look and high speed since I used it to take photos of bands.

Only one 135-36 left for that nice Fuji Neopan 1600. Very nice film around iso 800-1000. But it's a high speed film so not very suitable to put in the freezer for a very long time.

Sadly true. One of the two films I know where the date is the date, frozen or not. Always wondered if freezing it in a lead bag would help the keeping.

I''ve got two rolls on my desk to use in the next few weeks, and four in the freezer. I'll miss it.

That is good to know !! I should use my remaining 1600PR then and finish it .... I will miss it, too !

Kodak prevented Foma from selling film called "T" in the US because it is a Kodak trademark associated with the "T grain" technology. They did not take legal action for patent infringement. The 800 speed Foma film used similar technology to the 200 speed film that is still in production. Sales of T800 were small, and Foma discontinued the product.

I have T200 under several names, and Kodak did threaten the original importer, Foma USA, with massive law suits if they sold another roll, mostly to do with the T in the name?, I never got a definitive answer to the actual technology of the films, the 800 did not sell as well, but it had a following, extended red sensitivity as I recall, and yes, if you were looking for grain, they had it.

They had quality problems with dirt in their MF films, don't know if they solved that -- I was trying to import sheet film and they were quoting me prices double or more Czech retail for wholesale, -- when they asked me where I got my prices, I told them their store on Wenceslas Square, and then they faxed me they were no long interested in selling to me.

I liked their 200 speed film, did some tests on it, it gave excellent gray scales and tonality.

Before the revolution, they and Neobrom Brno were essentially sharing packaging, etc. Neobrom had some terrific papers.

Hate to see any of this stuff leave the market, it was sort of "Protected" during totalitarian times.

I talked to the director at Neobrom, I had the feeling he was happy getting a new car when they closed down? They could not figure out how to ship exports -- lots of confusion.

Regards, John

They wrote back! I know it doesn't mean anything at all but it was nice to get something back and it not go into a black hole.

This is a great film and I used it often. Several month ago I used 6 films and when I bought them the prises were very higher than usual but I did not bother . So due to it's discontinue the prises were up then! I like that film to Tri-X .
