For me Fuji Neopan 400 and 1600 were/are the best black and white films ever 
made EVER! I used them for a long time and now I am going back to them 20+ 
years later and they are great to scan with a wonderful tonal range. They 
were the Kodachrome of black and white films as far as I am concerned, and I 
hope one day they will re-introduce them. It may be a dream, but a man can 
dream, can?t he?
