There is some evidence that the Presto films are Neopan 100 SS and Neopan=20
400.   In other words, the older 100 film (not Acros) and the current (and=
=20
very good) Neopan 400.  I'm basing this on the Fujifilm pdf files that I've=
=20
downloaded from various sites around the world over the last couple of=20
years.  I was interested in trying the SS after Barrry Thornton's positive=
=20
comments about it, but the local importer here (Australia) said that it=20
would be discontinued, so I didn't bother.

If you look at sites that import film directly from Japan, you'll see=20
packaging that has "Neopan 400" and "Presto" on the same label, and Neopan=
=20
1600 is called "Super Presto".

I hasten to add that I have never seen it authoritatively stated that=20
Presto is another name for the Fuji films that are not Acros.
