Subject: [Leica] Any experience with Agfa Scala 200 BW Slide film?

Yes!

I used it extensively for winter landscapes on Iceland, this spring. It
scans very well.

Use of filters: caution is warranted. I tested it with my R5 lightmeter on
automatic. It appeared that for an orange filter I had to set the film speed
at 100 ASA (so overexpose 1 stop) and for a light red filter at 50 ASA. This
may rather be a metering problem - or idiosyncrasy - though.

With a light red filter skies get beautifully dark with nice white clouds.

Scala 200 projects very nicely with truer black than the now defunct Agfa
DiaDirect.

All IMHO!
