The things that I don't like are that it cuts the film speed in half, it is a six step process (fills all the bottle on my Jobo which means I have to clean out the E-6 bottles), and it seems expensive to me compared to just making duplicates of my negatives on negative film. The samples that I had seen of the Scala showed a much greater tonal range than I got with the Direct Positive kit. Let me know what you think.
