Alastair,

Maco is the best, my favourite IR film. In contrast to Kodak's High 
Speed IR, it *can* be loaded and unloaded in subdued light. It is less 
extreme than Kodak but much stronger than Konica's or Ilford's offerings 
(I am assuming you have the 820 flavour of the Maco, since they also 
have a weaker, 750 version).
