[rollei_list] Re: looks like ... Agfa Scala

Agfa black and white films especially the 100 has for many of my
photographer friends for decades a long reputation for being about the
smoothest "straight line" films you can get. Up there with Verichrome pan.
The famous cult recently departed black and white film which at one point
was they only film they made in certain sizes.

Now those characteristic curve charts don't seem to reflect (and I hate to
make an "S" out of myself). So my friends all these years perhaps were wrong
in some way.
But all I know is printing Agfa film, especially the 100 sure makes you
believe this false "straight line" impression, if it is false, we have on
the technical description at least in what is going on.
    for some reason  or another.

It's smooth and creamy film.

Never liked film "chunky style".
