I took a Pentax ME Super loaded with outdated Agfa 'Scala ' 200 to the Philippines, rated film at 100 ASA and processed in home-made ID11 formula 1+1 for 12 mins at 20oC and scanned with my old ( but FREE!) Epson 1650 flatbed+ Vuescan Pro.

thanks Folks !! I was given several cassettes of the Agfa 'Scala' 200 and read about processing as a negative even though it was designed for reversal processing as B&W slides and it gives very good results -- I have won a major award with a 16x12" darkroom print with it. I think I may have ONE more cassette left in the fridge.
