Scanning Scala should be done on a high quality drum scanner or an Imacon - I havent seen brilliant scans from Scala on cheap scanners. We are still in the dark on the future on the Scala - pehaps it is discontinued from 31-12-04 - The lab i Copehagen has just closed their Scala processing down. It is a film with such great qualities that price is less of an issue and the bigger film format the better - panoramas with fuji 6 x 17 is breathtaking but even at 24 x 36 it is a super film-.
