Bill - thanks for your input - I had tried dr5 for HP5+ and felt that 
it was not as good as scala processed in the AGFA way so i stopped 
using them for this.  But 'they' claim that the dr5 process for Scala 
is better.  It is expensive no doubt - even Leicaphiles have their 
limits.  I mean come on - what's a few thousand dollars for an ASPH 35 
- - but when the shop owner pulled out a 300/2.8 AFS NIKON and said it 
was $4400 I just about choked.
