I have not signed on for a long time so am not aware of any talk about the new, well almost new, Fujifilm Pro 160's. Fuji claims extremely fine grain and I concur. With my enlarger at maximum height the grain in some butterfly pictures is hard to see with a grain focus tool.
I have not had time to find any Panatomic X negatives for comparison.

Have others some experience?

Yes, it's VERY good. We have switched in the mean time to all Fuji Pro series.

An interesting article and some tests on this film:

I'm using another roll or two today on a shoot. Have only used one roll of this film so far, but it was nice, smooth, evenly balanced and has very tight grain. Good stuff, as far as I'm concerned, a decent product to work with. tim

I use a lot of Pro 160S, mostly in 120 and 4x5, and I look forward to comparing it to the new Portra 160NC. The links below will take you to galleries that include a number of my Pro 160S snaps.

Best,
