I like the Maco film as well, but PLEASE don't be a dope like me and forget to pre-wash/pre-soak the film before developing to get the anti-halation layer off. I forgot this twice (duh!) and I can guarantee you won't like the results.(posted 8271 days ago)I did read somewhere that you CAN pre-wash the ant-halation layer off the film, dry it, and re-roll it before shooting if you DO want the HIE clouding effect. That's a lot of work for 120, though. I might have more patience for that in 35mm size, I guess. But then why not just HIE!
