Hi, I would like to use MACO IR 820C film. I've red a lot about this
film, now I need to hear something form who tried it. In particular:

- kind of develop: D76, Xtol, what else?

- kind of fixing bath: on www.mahn.net, the web site of Maco's
producer, they suggest a high energy rapid fixer based on X-Ray
technology. What formulation is this?

Many thanks to all

Here's an example I've processed with Xtol and ordinary Ilford fixer:

Since this combination appears to be working nicely and I'm using it
for everything else, anyway, I haven't tried any alternatives.

I haven't (yet) tried this film, but I have experience with many other
Maco films, like UP 64, PO 100 and Cube 400. Usually, Maco claims their
LP supergrain as suitable. It is highly compensating developer, that can
process nearly every nominally exposed film in five minutes.
