If anybody has used this film (I have three rolls I've been sitting) have you pushed it to ISO 1600?

@Rob MacKillop and @Hamish Gill have used this film, not sure if they pushed it to 1600, but from what i've read it's fine. i'd like to give it a try in the trip.

I didn't push my first roll (I have two rolls) but wish I had. Very nice and subtle film.

I pushed a roll to 3200. But usually set the meter at 800. I've found that shooting at 800 then even if I underexpose by a stop or sometimes slightly more I've not had a problem with the outcome even when developed without any pushing!
I guess if you are shooting a whole roll at the speed it's worth pushing, but for the extra cost and finding someone who can do it involved it's a bit of a faff.
This said, some people have said that the film doesn't like being underexposed without pushing, but I've not found this ...
Also, I remembered the other day, if you want to shoot it in np mode in the fuji you will need to recode the dx barcode under the cinestill lable. Np mode only works when the camera has had the ISO set automatically to 800 or above
