Neopan 1600 & Rodinal .. Why Can't I Do This With Neopan 400?

[bwcolor]

I just ran across an image that I used to test a just acquired lens. What I don't understand is how I managed to get such detail/low grain using a high ISO film (Neopan 1600 @ EI 640), Rodinal and a zoom lens(Zeiss 100-400mm on an RX). I just can't seem to do this with Neopan 400 and my current developer TMax. Maybe it is back to Rodinal and EI: 250.

Here is the full resolution image:

There is grain here. It is less obvious because of the high contrast and lack of mid greys. Some subjects and lighting mask the presence of grain.

I agree that there is grain, but I've had much worse with Rodinal. I've avoided Rodinal with fast films. Recently shooting Legacy Pro 400 souped in TMax and before this I was using Xtol. I think that it is time to try Rodinal. I've not been happy with TMax, except in low contrast lighting.

Rodinal and Neopan 400 really work well. I find at ei200 and with 12mins @ 20c 1:50 with little agitation it produces great results. !
