Re: Re: Mono chrome slides
The only Scala developer in Canada,according to the Agfa site, is TorontoImageWorks in Toronto. I would like to try a roll this spring.

I was thinking of trying it with some portraits for something a little different. Is it very contrasty? How does it go with studio lighting?

I'm lucky enough to work within easy walking distance of the lab that processes it, so if necessary I can get a quick turnround on processing.

It could be Agfa Scala (ISO 200 B&W positive) as Tom pointed out http://www.agfa.com/photo/products/film/professional/bwrevfilm/ or a similiar product made by Czech foto factory FOMA - Fomopan R100 (ISO 100 B&W positive) http://www.foma.cz/en/prod/cbneg.htm http://www.foma.cz/en/tech_listy/F_pan_R.htm There is also a posibility of developing the negative in the process mentioned by Tom owhich will result in having a positive. I think a company called Tetenal also makes such a kit. And one more option I also encountered is shoting the B&W prints on color positive film. I've seen something like this done on Fuji Provia 100F and the results weren't that bad. Tonality suffers on such a process but when stuck between color slides the B&W ones were really catching the eye. Cheers Maciej --- Wszystko, czego potrzebuje nowoczesna kobieta!

Re: Mono chrome slides
Used to be a kit you could buy from Kodak to develop Pan-x as b&w slides. They also used to produce a special purpose B&W reversal film, maybe they still do, (if so I think it uses the same reversal kit).
