I've used Maco film--it's imported from a German company (
http://www.mahn.net/ ). I wasn't very impressed, but managed to push it to
something reasonable for cyanotype. I used it in high-concentration Rodinal
(10:1) for four to five minutes for a book my fiance and I did (e.g.
http://imagearts.ryerson.ca/kerickson/cyano1.html ). I'm not sure that it's
lith, tho'. It seems to have "pseudo-lith" properties---but I'm not really
able to say.

Subject: Re: lith film
I don't know if this is true for anyone else but I am finding it harder to
source good quality lith film. Till Recently used Bergger BFPO-18 (an
excellent film BTW) which I understand is now discontinued. Tried a new film
Maco Genius film - another lith product - which I am not entirely happy
with. Does anyone know were Maco film is manufactured and does anyone know
if the Bergger film has been re-introduced?
Yes I know there is the option of Freestyle but this means ordering from the
US rather than getting something locally.
Any thoughts?
