Mike, why f/16 for such a long exposure? Why not 
something more sensible like f/8 at 1 second or so?  IMHO 
and based on previous experience, movement at such long 
exposures outweighs any depth of field gain. I have been 
using ISO 400 on my D1X and have been quite satisfied 
with the results. To add a bit of grain like traditional IR film, 
I've even used ISO 1600/3200.
