More NeoPan wedding...

I like the look, but it's certainly clear why digital has taken over low-light shooting.

Neopan 1600, Leica MP, Noctilux (posted these before - sorry if you've seen them, but hey, still think they're purdy...)

A very special film for me, partly because it is the only film I do not develop in Rodinal.

Neopan 1600, box speed, DD-X, Nokton 40/f1.4.

Great images - neopan 1600 is my favorite BW fim.

Its because Joe the photographer likes to photograph low light without any respect for "low light". The shots above indicate the mood of low light and they're elegant and mysterious.

You can shoot the same scene at ISO 6400 with a D3 and it will look like just another normal shot at available light.

Photography is about aesthetics, not utility.

i completely agree with you on this one!

Wow #6 is my favorite. Perfect composition. I just bought a Canon QL17 GIII whose top ISO is 800. How do you think Neopan 1600 would look set at 800? Or would I be better just getting Neopan 400 and pushing it to 800? I love the look you guys are getting from this film but are similar results possible with the Canon or would I just be chasing something that is beyond the technical capabilities of the QL17?

Nick- I love the technical look of your second shot (close-up of guy's face looking up off camera left). It shows a great marriage of film, lens, exposure, and development to create a look I like. This combo of tonality, grain, contrast, and sharpness, pushes all my buttons.

Maddoc-

1600PR / Super-Prodol:

This is fantastic- I love how the guy in the foreground stands out from the rest of the image. Just a great, evocative, shot.

Interesting. This "look" is in fact why I'm staying with film in low-light shooting.

@ drewbarb: Thank you a lot ! 🙂 I was shot from the hip, so focus is a little of (35mm Summicron IV @ f/2.0).

@ deepwhite: Very nice series !! I like the last one (cross walk) best. Great tones and I love that grain !!

I don't know if Super-Prodol (Fuji's developer for high Presto and Superpresto) is available outside of Japan but I really like it for both, 400PR and 1600PR.

Cheers,

Gabor

What a great set of images so muh charackter and power in them

This is all shot with Neopan 1600 as well, at 1000. It certainly is a great film...

Neopan 1600 examples

Love the stuff. I used it for my second daughtes birth together with Ilford 3200. I found the Ilford too grainy but the Neopan wonderfull. Here is a shot of my oldest.

I love Neopan 1600 souped in Rodinal 1:100. Here's a link to my Neopan 1600, Rodinal photos (most diluted to 1:100 for 55 min.): http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=neopan%201600&w=12798758%40N04
Try it out if you haven't already. 3 ml per film. Agitate slowly for the first 90 seconds, agitate for another 5 seconds after 30 minutes. Take out after 55 minutes.

 

[dazedgonebye]

All very nice looking stuff...some just great.

How does it compare to tri-x pushed to 1250 iso (my usual low light fare).

How would you rate it for development in Diafine?

 

[sniki]

That's Neopan 1600 in daylight, developed in D76.
