Hi all
I have found that Lupus Imaging still stock AGFA Scala 200x.
Here is the link: http://www.lupus-shop.de/-35/-34/-67...65e97c83202d78
I thought this was discontinued and the processing was not available.
Regards

I like it, but I would never pay a premium for it considering the options out there in terms of fresh films.
Must be old stock. While proprietary Agfa processing is long gone, this lab does superb work on Scala or reversal of current b&w materials:

Not cheap but Scala and its processing were never giveaway priced anyway.
Ilford FP4 works as an excellent a b/w slide film using this process: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/...1220441194.pdf
Agfa Scala in 35mm is still available from a number of suppliers in Germany and possibly other countries in Europe. I bought a 5 pack earlier this year expiry date 2014. A number of labs in Germany and France still develop this, I got it done at Photo Studio13 in Germany for a reasonable cost. They also reverse process other films mainly Rollei types, I had a roll of 120 Superpan 200 done a the same time which came out well.
That is right. It is still original Agfa Scala 200X produced by Agfa in Leverkusen, Germany, in 2005.Quote:

The film is available for example at

That is wrong. The original Agfa Scala process has never been discontinued. The chemistry is produced on a regular basis (by Saal and Tetenal).Quote:

Some of these labs (e.g. Photostudio13) also offer development of further films in the Scala process, like Agfa Copex Rapid, Rollei Retro 80S, Rollei Superpan 200, Rollei Infrared, Foma R100 etc.
The following European labs are offering BW reversal development with their own, special (self-designed) process:

No longer available--film or processing--in N. America. Dr5 in Denver is the place for reversal processing of available b&w film materials.Quote:
