Re: Maco Infrared film??

[Eckhard Stephan <eckhard.stephan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

...just talked to Mr. Schröder from MACO on the phone: 1.) There are
only some 130 rolls of the 135-36 prototype left, which they normally
only sell in larger portions... 
2.) They agreed to send me 5 films anyway :-)) - so maybe there's a
chance if you ask really nice :-)
3.) Maybe interesting news for those of you who are worried about the
discontinuation of 4x5 HIE sheet film: MACO IR 820 is also available as
4x5 sheet film - and they still have a lot of it in store ;-) Of course
it's not HSI - but maybe it's worth a try...
4.) The current test version has got an anti-halation coating. However,
MACO are still not sure, whether they will finally produce the film with
an anti-halation coating or not. It depends on who will be their main
customers: For scientific and military uses an anti-halation layer would
be useful, for artistic purposes probably not... 

Here is - once more - their address. If you do not want to try
intercontinental long-distance calls ;-) you can also contact them via
e-mail.
