The results were amazing, especially on the pushed rolls where the contrasts and highlights really made some of the shots stand out. Scala was recommended to me and I have to say it is a very flexible film. You may need to find a lab that processes Scala though. I am lucky in London as there are four labs that have a Scala service. Simon ARTHURWG@aol.com wrote: > What's the best way to shoot black and white in bright mid-day light?
