Anyone Still Using Scala?

I know it's not being made anymore, but some existing supplies remain because it's not a very high demand film. I just thought I'd mention that if any North America users have Scala and need to find a processor, there is a lab in Colorado that still does it. As far as I know, they are the only one outside of Europe and they do a fast, clean job. Here's the link, in case anyone is interested:

 

dr5 CHROME - Black and White transparency process + THE ONLY RELIABLE SCALA PROCESSING WORLDWIDE

 

BTW, this is not an ad--I have no connection to this business whatsoever, other than using them to process my film.

There is a new Rollei B&W slide DIREKT film.

Can be processed in the standard RHS developer. It is a orthochromatic microfilm based material to produce B&W slides with their negative developer. Slow speed E.I. 25 maybe till 50.

 

Scala is also done by the Dutch professional lab S-Color.

Another alternative for B&W slides is the Fomapan R100 film. But with the kit it's also reverse processing so rather time consuming. Scala can also be done in this Foma dev. kit.

 

best regards,

Yes. Stocked up on Scala and have about 20 rolls in the refrigerator. Develop myself as a negative and still get that "Scala look."

 

I wasn't aware that was possible. Can you give more information (chemistry, time, temp.) please?

Rodinal 8.5min @ 65F(18C). Got this from a German web site some years ago. Don't have the URL anymore.

I still also have some Scala in the fridge.

Do you use 1+25 or 1+50 for the Rodinal?

 

Rollei has a new film ISO 50 B&W color film which you can develop in Rodinal too.

Sorry, answered too fast last time. Rodinal was 1:20. B&W color film? Seems like a contradiction in terms. Do you have a reference?

It should have been B&W slide film called Rollei Retro 50 Slide film direct.

They also have a new chromogenic B&W film called Scanfilm CN400 PRO

I saw it at the Maco booth at Photokina

The Rollei CN400 pro scanfilm is a C41 colornegative film without orange mask. It's a color film, not a B&W chromogene film.

The preliminary specs of the new Rollei Slide DIREKT (SD) film you can find here:
