Subject: [Leica] Scala and other Agfa slide films
From: Gerry Walden <gerrywalden@cwcom.net>

Now that i have done away with my darkroom, I am looking in general at the 
way I work and I am thinking of shooting my black and white on Agfa Scala 
as it appears to be a good medium sped film and will give me monochrome 
slides that I can file along with my colour slides and treat in exactly the 
same manner, scanning and printing them digitally as necessary.

Does anybody have any experience of Scala as a film?   The Agfa web site 
has some wonderful images shot on it which show good tonal range and 
contrast.   The specification and stated granularity looks good, as does 
its ability to be push or pull processed.

Also, does anyone have any experience of Agfa colour slide films in general 
compared with Fuji and Kodak?

Needless to say, this is food for my Leica cameras.

Thanks in advance,

Gerry
