Rollei emulsions aren't exactly rebranded Maco emulsions, Maco has  
prototyped some of the Rollei emulsions under their own brand before  
its launch, alas the 25, cube and IR, which are supposedly  
discontinued now. Rollei emulsions do not behave exactly as previous  
Maco emulsions did but they are quite close.

I have been using the pan25, R3 and Retro 400. R3 will gave you nice  
tones and good versatility, but at cost of a more complicated  
processing and a hard time until you get used to it. Pan25 and Retro  
are fine emulsions, and I've wrote what I've found about them here  
for the pan25 http://tinyurl.com/a8z5t and here por the Retro http:// 
tinyurl.com/arn8q

hope it helps

Saludos
