A very refreshing time, in every sense of the word.

Completely off topic post today.
There were the death of Michael Jackson and Sarah Fawcett. Very sad but would have happened eventually.
Most outrageous is the vote of the so-called American Clean Energy and Security Act in the American Congress. Such a display of dumbness, ignorance, opportunism, demagogy and will to impoverish other humans is worse than anything else that happened that day. And there was tough competition.
After all, no one has yet proven CO2 has anything to do with climate warming, much less so human generated CO2. On the contrary, doubts are rising all over the world.

Reading about different film/developer combinations, I came across a post on Flicker discussion where Philip Leser mentioned that he really liked Neopan 400 in Diafine. He made extensive tests with several films in Diafine, including plotting characteristic curves. He came with this curve for Neopan 400 in Diafine:

This is very very good. So I tried and indeed, Neopan 400 in Diafine creates great negatives. Grain is moderate. Much marger than Acros, of course, but invisible on a 12×16" print from medium format.
I wonder if I need anything else for my RZ67, really.
