Fuji Natura 1600 best @ what EI?

[marke]

I've shot one roll of this so far. It came out pretty good. But unfortunately it was several months ago and I don't remember what EI I happened to use!

I'm asking for suggestions from anyone who has had good results with this film, but using a regular manual camera, not the Natura camera. I've heard suggestions everywhere from 400 all the way to 1600 EI.

I've shot it mostly @ 1250, occasionally @ 1600 (both w/standard development). I'm happy w/my results @ 1250, but based on my experience w/other C41 films, I think 800 to 1000 would also work fine, depending on the light & look that you're seeking. I recently shot 1 roll @ 1000, but haven't had it developed, yet.

I'll second furcafe, I've had good results at 1000 or 1250.

Thank you, gentlemen. I most likely used 1250 when I shot that "lost" roll, but I just wanted to get some suggestions.

I've never shot natura, but I've shot a couple of rolls of superia 1600 at 1600 with good results. Don't know if they are the same film or not.
