We're lucky in London that there are four branches of Joes Basement and KJP that do Scala processing. All the B&W images on the link below are Scala at various speeds from 200 to 1600. Scala enlargements get a sort of very very faint green/grey cast which in certain images gives an interesting additional depth. The quality of the enlargements is superb and is a match for a lot of B&W negative film.
