Few years ago I was shooting Kodak Tmax all the time, then I tried 2 rolls of Neopan 400. I did not liked the Neopan for some reason ( think it was the grain structure ).
Then I started using Kodak Trix and loved it and thats all I have been shooting since.

The other day I was ordering some stuff form BH photo and saw that they had some Neopan in stock. I recalled reading somewhere on the internet that it was discontinued. I ordered 5 rolls.

I just developed the first roll, shot at ISO800 ( old habit, thats how I shoot Trix ), and I love the result. :D
The mid tones are great, the grain is beautiful and the contrast is just how I like it.

Any idea when this film will be completely gone? :(

It is a bit expensive, I live in Iceland and ordering it is a bit crazy. After expensive shipping cost I have to pay 25.5% taxes on the whole amount.

Anyway, here are a few shots from the first roll. Went out with my older son for some playtime. These are shot on Minolta SLR autofocus camera with 28-105 Sigma lens that I acquired few weeks ago. Not a fancy camera but seems to work fine :)
