hi I have been using neopan 1600 and 400 for some time I feel if the situations can not be reproduced, you better go with neopan 400 or even neopan 1600 as for 8x10 the grain won't be a big deal also, if you are shooting in low lighting, grain will probably add a punch to the picture as you said you have very lesss darkroom time here are some tech details: for neopan 1600 or 400 without a pull: D76 1:1 for 14 min @ 18 degree C(posted 8671 days ago)thanks shreepad
