Hoi Animal,

I have the same problems with scala and I'm using a dual 3. I had a roll 
of scala underexposed because the slow times on my old M2 are too fast. 
I didn't know that by then. Although underexposed the slides looked as 
if I could do do something with them. In the end I got some results but 
not very satisfactory. the picuters are published in my PAW 2003: 
http://home.wanadoo.nl/michiel.fokkema/Fotografie/paw/27.htm

Later I went bakc to the same place but now with a Hexar loaded with 
TCN. Results are much better.

So I think Nathan is right, make sure scala is overexposed a bit.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
