In a way it is the best of both worlds: real B&W shot with Leica lenses and projected with Leica projector lens. I wonder how profitable this is for Agfa. The proportion of film shot is perhaps 95% color negative and 5% slide; of the latter, how much can Scala be--5%? I am just happy that Agfa continues to make it.
