I have been experimenting with different film types for the Museum portraits project. Fuji Neopan 1600 is emerging as my favourite…lovely grain and great contrast. Here is a street shot taken with the film rated at 3200 iso….

Hello Keith. I have been a user of this film for many years. Just wondering whether the grain is something you wanted or whether you would want to de-emphasise it? The standard range of liquid developers Ilfosol, DDX etc will enhance the grain, which I don’t really relish. I use Prescysol which, whilst doing nothing to reduce the contrast, keeps the grain to a minimum. Nice blog by the way. John

Yes I amhappy with the grain. Works well with the photo series I’m working on. Thanks for the tip!
