fordfanjpn Posted March 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am very interested in trying some Agfa Scala film, but considering the difficulty in getting it processed (it apparently can't be done here in Japan so it will have to be sent to Santa Ana CA), I thought I'd ask here first if anyone has any experience with it, and could hopefully post a scan or two (or point out a link to some scanned images). Thanks. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoskeptic Posted March 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2008 I used quite a bit of Scala when it was available with the mailers for development. I can't pull up an example quickly, but will say that it has a look all it's own and once you've shot a few rolls you can pick out a Scala print easily. I know that dr5 in Colorado still processes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 12, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2008 The Scala is a nice film. I like it very much, but scanning could be a pain with a standard 35mm scanner. You can´t use ICE with them and it´s a litlle tricky. You get the very best out of it, when you put the slides in your Pradovit:) Two of my latest Scala shots from february: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/47344-friends.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerdoc Posted March 12, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 12, 2008 Scala is gorgeous! I just sent a roll of 120 today to Main Photo. Should be back inside of a week. Main Photo has plenty in stock - they say. Good service too. dr5 will process it too and claims better results - hard to imagine. dr5 also will process regular B&W film to transparency. I recommend the 'old' emulsions e.g. TriX or hp5, etc. And Scala will scan very well. Blow it off first to get the spots down to a minimum.

JHAG Posted March 12, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 12, 2008 I found scala 120 outdated. I would'nt go for colour outdated film. I don't know about B/W ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
