I developed my first roll of the new film yesterday and am in the process of scanning the negs.

1 minute prewash (2 changes of water, 1st was dark blue, 2nd was light blue). I used D76 stock for 11 minutes. I agitated for 10 sec. once every 30 sec. (does that make sense)? I used a 30 sec. water stop, a 3 min. fix and water wash (5 inversions of the tank, empty, refill, 10 inversions, empty, refill, and finally 20 inversions).

And, how'd it go, Diane? I haven't had a opportunity to shoot any of it yet. Care to share any of your pics??
Thanks for your development times!

I'm in the process of scanning the negs at the moment. My computer is very sluggish and doesn't want to do more than one thing at a time.

Maco Cube 400C and the R3 are extended N.I.R. films: 730 nm.

I will ask Schröder for some new test I.R. films for the Netherlands and Belgium, maybe some lost German photographers are also interested.

R3 is in our standard program, also the 820C I.R.

I have taken the liberty of copying the sensitivity curves from MACO:

For those that are interested,the old Maco 820c film(and possibly the aura version)will be discontinued in the not so distant future.I was informed that the IR market wasn't big enough for two Maco IR films-I'm guessing if you like the old emulsions ,get 'em while you can.

If they will make IR400 in sheet sizes, I'm happy. Even if I like slow films and l-o-n-g shutter times at lagre apertures, this new film is good.
