The Rollei emulsions are Maco: I"ve used the R3 with mixed results. Its easy 
to handle, difficult to tear, seems to be sensitive to development times, 
but I"m not finished with it yet. I like its versatile iso ratings for 
travel. It will NOT scan in the Nikon 5000 however and that is a BIG PAIN IN 
THE REAR.
