  I haven't used TMZ since Delta 3200 appeared on the market, but my old
film-development notes indicate that its "real" speed is about EI 1250-1600
in Microphen, or 1/3 stop faster than Delta 3200. I found Delta 3200's
curve shape (thus highlight rendition) much more to my liking, and it's (so
far as I know) the only film of that type available in 120.
  I don't have any experience with Neopan 1600.
