Hi Steven,
Hi Richard,

as far as I can remember there have been questions about the scala before and
I apologize to being late with my answers:

I used it with in the summer with a Noctilux (didn't have any other lens) and
got superb slides. Wide tonal range from very black to brightest white. No
sepia look. I got very fine grained results. The film is much more tolerant in
terms of exposure than the no longer available Agfa Dia Direct (at ASA 12). I
would highly recommend it if there wasn't this thing with the price, at least
here in germany:

1 roll cost DM 20-30 ($ 12-18)
Development in a special lab approximately DM 30 ($ 18) mailing included. 
I dont know anything about the development prices if you send a couple of
films to the lab.

P.S. There is a special push development yielding ASA 24 and a special pull
development yielding ASA 19 which is supposed to give even finer grained
results. I think I will try the latter next time.
