Agfa Scala 200x

Agfa Scala 200x was a black-and-white reversal film, so it made positive monochrome slides rather than normal black-and-white negatives. Its ISO 200 speed and slide projection use made it stand out from films like Agfa APX 100.

Yes. It was designed for Scala reversal processing, not ordinary black-and-white negative development, if you want true black-and-white slides.

Some labs or home processors can develop it as a black-and-white negative, but that is not the classic Scala look. To get the intended positive image, it needs a reversal process.

Color slide films such as Fujifilm Provia use E-6 chemistry and produce color transparencies. Agfa Scala 200x produces monochrome transparencies, so its appeal is projected black-and-white contrast rather than color saturation.
