RE: maco exposure

[Jason Revell <jason.revell@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is about what I shoot at.  The film is very slow in comparison to HIEand as you say much more like Konica.

Only HIE with give you the 'traditional/typical' IR look (if such a thing
were to exist !).  It is for this reason that I hope this year/next year to
switch to 70mm for my RB67.

The good thing with the Maco film as you pointed out is you get a very
dark/strong black due to the film clear base.  For this reason I think it's
different to the Konica but that's about it.

		Does this sound about right for Maco 120 roll film?  An ISO
of 6 with an 87filter, developed in Xtol for 13 minutes @ 68 degrees?  An
ISO of 25 for the
		25 Red filter?  This is not TTL but plugged into a handheld
meter.  This is
		what a student is doing.  When I will go to shoot my maco
supply, I will
		develop in pyro, tho--are these ISO's, times and temps OK
for pyro too in
		anybody's experience?
		     His prints resembled Konica's results.  Contrasty,
quite sharp grain
		(6x4.5 negs, 11x14 prints) very black water and black skies.
They do not
		look like HIE, but more like dramatic fine art black and
white
		prints--noticeably different to be attractive but not so
"infrared-y" so
		that the public would immediately know what was up.
However, this is MT in
		the winter.
