Adox Scala Reverse Processing Kit

Adox Scala Reverse Processing Kit

The Adox Scala Reverse Processing Kit offers a remarkably simple way to reverse process black and white films, producing stunning monochrome slides. Designed with ease of use in mind, the process consists of just two main stages — Developer and Bleach — both diluted 1:1 with water, plus an optional clear bath.

Following extensive research, Adox have created a formula that avoids the use of dichromate or other highly corrosive elements. The eco-friendly bleach is exceptionally stable, with a shelf life of up to 8 weeks after dilution, and up to 16 weeks when stored unopened and undiluted.

Each kit is capable of processing up to 8 rolls of film before the chemistry is exhausted. Detailed instructions are provided, and the process delivers excellent results with high DMAX (deep, rich blacks), minimal DMIN (clear base), and virtually no emulsion lift-off.

While optimised for Adox Scala films, this kit can also be used with other black and white films, though results may vary depending on the clarity of the film base. Films such as Adox CMS 20, Rollei Retro 400S, and Rollei Retro 80S are particularly well-suited. Standard black and white films can still be reverse processed but may display reduced highlight contrast due to base fog.
