Fuji Neopan 400 (Legacy pro) with Prescysol EF Stand

[raytoei@gmail.com]

This developer is quite finicky, good shots would result in great shadow details, bad shots would be muddy.

I am still in a learning mode with the developer, my current thinking is that it reduces speed (unlike what the instructions say), here are some shots which I believe I overexposed the film at iso 200.

here's one in Ultrafine Extreme 400 in 120 format developed in Prescysol EF,
same process workflow as my previous post.

With Prescysol EF you lose a stop. Try to expose Neopan at EI 250. BTW, this is a very high acutance developer, so stand development is not necessary, develop with the standard agitation ( 1st minute, and then every 3 mins) for around 12-13 mins.

Have you tried Pyrocat HD? It's very similar to Prescysol EF, but you can shoot Neopan 400 at 320, and in glycol it keeps for years. Both are superb pyro developers IMO.
