Response to Macophot ortho 25

The Maco ORT 25 is one of the "sharpest" films on the market. According an article by Jürgen Richter in the German foto journal "Color Foto" TMAX 100 resolves ca. 110 lines, Mco PO 100c ca. 260 lines AND Maco ORT 25 ca 330. Refer to the article about Maco arto films which can be downloaded from the following site: http://hamburg.germany.com/laborpartner/html/colorfoto_11.htm For pictorial photography Maco recommends using their "Laborpartner LP-Docufine LC" low contrast developer. Since the film obviously is meant to behave like good old AGFA Orto it ought to work fine in Rodinal 1:100 (or better Calbe R09 1:200) or any of the other low contrast developers on the market (Jobo, Tetenal, Kodak etc.) In Rodinal 1:25 you will get very high contrast negatives. The only real difference in the colour rendition you will get is the red blindness: Red will also be black. On the print it will make much less difference than one might think.
