I have used it and not impressed. I experienced banding and streaking
problems though I used the same process method with Bergger films that I had
previously used. I note from comments on the list that the Bergger film is
having the same problems.
Side by side I would prefer the Bergger films and perhaps you should give
them a try. I explored the Maco Genius film because I couldn't get the size
I wanted with Bergger here in the UK and Bergger had discontinued one of
their films I worked with successfully.
Perhaps the digital approach does make sense...
