I don't know where you had the film processed, but I have had consistently good results from s-Color (Singel 364 or in Sloten, right off the A10) with this film, exposed at 1600. If you want to do it yourself, I suggest XTOL, which is what I used when I was living in Switzerland (and Belgium before that) and doing my own development. I still have several packs of it, which you can have--contact me off-list if interested.
