Has anybody tried Maco ORT25? I liked the results but I processed it as AGFA OTHO25 in Rodinal 1+10 for 5 min 20c. The AGFA is now disconinued so try Maco http:\www.mahn.net ?

I have just about developed my first roll of it. It even contained a calibration series, but I screwed up a little during the development in Neofin Doku. Only after 1 1/2 (out of 5) minutes did I realise that I was supposed to invert every 3 s instead of the 4 times at the beginning of every minute that I am used to. However, the results look pretty neat on the proof sheet. From the densitometric evaluation (which I made in spite of the blunder), it seems that the ISO 25/15 is not exaggerated (if not slightly understated) for this film/developer combination, but there is a pronounced shoulder, i.e. the highlights are fairly compressed. The gradient in the straight section of the characteristic curve appears to be about 0,7. I will, however, repeat my calibration ensuring proper development this time. I will then be pleased to share the results, if anybody is interested.With Agfaortho being discontinued, this seems to be the only 35 mm ortho film on the market at present.

I forgot to mention that the film has an amazingly low fb+f density.
