I use have used Neopan off and on since I studied in Asia in the early 1970's. IMHO, Neopan-X is about the same as Plus-X or FP4+, Neopan 400 is about the same as Tri-X or HP5+. Neopan 1600 is an excellent film with less obtrusive grain than TMZ (I haven't got around to trying Delta-3200 in 35mm yet). I use it alot in my Tessina and Minox for low-light candids.(posted 9133 days ago)In short, Neopan films (except for the 1600) are OK, but nothing special. I buy them when they are easier to get than other B&W films (e.g. in much of Asia) and prefer them to Tmax, but would not go out of my way for them.
