Re: maco exposure

[Tom Purdum <javaboyone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I shot my last few rolls of maco 120 at an iso of abou
6 with an R72.  I developed them in d76 for 8 min at
68 deg.  MY negs were great.  I will be adding them to
my site soon and you all can take a look.  Still
nothing like HIE.  Honestly, I did not see that much
difference beween the maco and the konica.  
Hope some of this helps.
