Neopan 400 @ 1600 processing

[Anton Caro]

Hi fellows,
I have the following challenge in front of me - to process Neopan 400 @ 1600 ASA using a developer that can be mixed at home - using phenodone, methol and hydrohinone...
Currently I think of D76 ... 15 min
or two bath processing Jean-Fache (hope I spelled it correctly)... 15 min each
or Neofin Blue (Beutler)
or Rodinal

Can some of you share his experience with me?

Parodinal at 1+100. Stand develop at 1 hour. Agitate 10 secs after first 30 min. Still I think Neopan does not push well. Well, that may be just me.

Neopan 400 is allright to push up to two stops at least. For ISO 1600 I'd use D-76 stock at 20C for 13min 30sec. For Rodinal @ 1600 just as totst described above but for 90min and 10sec slow agitation at 30min and 60min marks.

This is @ 1600 with Rodinal: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2628/4201069904_a6656a3708_b.jpg

I often push LegacyPro 400 (said to be rebadged Neopan 400) to 1600 with stock D76.

Here are some samples with this combination (click link for larger pic):

I use Legacy pro 400 at 800, but never rated 1600... When I rate 800, I use Rodinal 1:100 for 25 min.

This is with paRodinal 1+50 Rollei Retro 400 with Agfa Record III.

and this one is with Elitchrome 200 and the 40 mm Nokton

Yesterday I used Promicrol 1:10 at 24 centigrades for 20 min. I think the negs are usable. The contrast could be a bit higher, but these are the risks of pushing a film... on the other hand, the photos are just family photos with my niece, I would never use flash to shoot her...
Thank you, guys, for the quick replies. I will give a try to the D76 and the paRodinal as suggested.
