Friday I looked through several rolls of film shot by local Kodak rep
(also a good photographer) done on TriX and processed as possitive by
A&I lab in LosAngeles.  They looked wonderful.  Didn't have that kinda
glowy look of Scala, more straight.   If you do something with the
second developer you can get sepia.  Stacy shot Polynesians in native
costume and the stuff looked nice.  I don't think the process is
anything special that you can't get from Kodak, except they have
perfected it.
