I've found ISO 1600 can do remarkably well too, although I usually
try to keep ISO down to 800 if I want very large enlargements. That
is, unless I'm going for a grainy/gritty texture.

Just a quick comment. While looking at the original PEF file for

better than
I'd imagined an 1600 ISO pic would look. Maybe it's the light?
