Hi there,

I still use black and white film and recently started using Agfa 
Scala. This is a black and white slide film and although you have to 
be careful with the exposure the transparancies are incredible.

The thing about using this film is that I get the best of both 
worlds; old style slides that I can use on a projector and make 
incredible prints. In my case using Picture Windows Pro.

Yours Graham
