I haven't pushed it very often, but one of my friends at work uses it for concert shots all the time. He shoots it between 800 and 1600 and it really looks pretty good. I think Fuji says that it is designed to push up to two stops. I would go ahead and give it a try. It is definitely better than Fujichrome 1600 by a long shot. We have our own E6 machine, so we always snip it first.
