Questions & Answers

Roberto J : Do you process the Scala 160 reversal film?JEFF A : You'll have to do a web search for b&w reversal processing.. I've done it myself, but I had to make solutions from basic chemicals. My testing showed best results at 50 ISO. I think this Scala 160 is discontinued and a Scala 50 is the new film. Maybe they realized the speed difference.Tyler M : You can process either as normal B+W Negative or Reversal I believe. I have sent in for lab reversal precessing with fantastic results. Try DR5 in Iowa. They can tell you in advance if you need to adjust your exposure times. This is recommended for some film stocks with DR5 precessing. I'm not sure about Adox Scala specifically.GLENN B : Do *I* process it? No. Does Adorama process it? No. There is one lab in the entire US that will develop this stuff: dr5.us
Carter P : What process is used for development?ANDREW R : It's a reversal process. ADOX recomends the following b/w reversal labs: • Klaus Wehner (Paderborn) • Studio 13 (Stuttgart) • Arkalab (Paris) • Dr5 (USA) • Agenzia Luce (Italy)
Shopper : Has anyone pushed this film to 320 or higher?

About Adox SCALA 160 B/W Slide Film

SCALA is a black and white reversal film intended for reversal processing. This is not a negative film which could be reversal processed rather it has been designed especially for this purpose.

If Scala is reversal processed optimal exposure shall be set to 160 ASA.

SCALA is coated onto a clear triacetate base and features an increased silver content (in comparison to a negative film) thus it yields a DMAX of 3.6 and higher (depending on the reversal process used).

SCALA has an anti halation layer inbetween the emulsion and the base for optimal sharpness and detail contrast.

Base:
SCALA is coated onto 120 micron clear Triacetate

Formats:
• 35mm film 135/36
• Please see THIS info about other formats

DX-Coding:
Because ADOX films do not have a DX code please set the cameras lighmeter manually to 160 ASA.

SCALA is practically APX 100 with a slightly finer grain and lower speed plus an increased silver content, the clear base and the AHU. In the reversal process it's speed raises to 160 ASA. Shot to a negative it shall be exposed to 80-100 ASA (see ADOX Silvermax).

Reciprocity failure:
• Between 1/10.000 and 1/2 s no adjustement is necessary
• From 1s of exposure time: +1/2
• From 10s of exposure time: +1
• From 100s of exposure time: +2

ADOX recomends the following b/w reversal labs:
• Klaus Wehner (Paderborn)
• Studio 13 (Stuttgart)
• Arkalab (Paris)
• Dr5 (USA)
• Agenzia Luce (Italy)
