Uh-h-h-h...I guess I should have mentioned that Agfa Scala (the b & w transparency film) cannot be processed at home (unless somebody's found the secret formula). It's gotta be baptized by an Agfa approved lab. There's a list of them at http://www.agfaphoto.com/products/scalalabs.html . This sort of negates the quick n' easy home brew approach to black and white processing, but you can still process color slide film at home, scan it with the little Agfa, and convert the files to black and white with fine results. (Well...anyway, it's a way to save $250 on the scanner). Craig Boston
