what speed would you suggest peter?
Rate it at 200, Joe.

This shot was made with Scala processed as a neg.

I'd refined the processing though.
1+25 Rodinal, 68F for 8 minutes with 5 inversions each minute.

OY!!!!!!!!

Nice!

Murphy's Law of photographic emusions: The better they are, the sooner they become extinct. A guy like Bill Gates could dedicated about 10 seconds of the interest income from his holdings to preserving things like Kodachrome II or 25 in 35mm & 120, Agfa B&W films, etc., etc.
 
I never thought of processing Scala as a neg.. I've got two rolls of it in my fridge right now.. but I also have two mailers left.. just waiting for a good occasion to use it
 
If the idea of b&w slides makes you salivate, check out ilford's manual for reversal processing of FP4+ on their website.

To summarize, you first dev in paper developer, bleach in potassium permanganate + sulfuric acid, clear the bleach with potassium metabisulfite, re-expose the film to light, develop to completion in paper developer, and fix it for good measure.

I've seen a harder-core recipe that incorporates potassium dichromate and uses sodium bisulfate in lieu of sulfuric acid (easier to find, it's a pool-store type chem), but chromium(VI) is pretty toxic.
