A few notes to report a successful result.

Development method, hand inversion agitation / processing.
Process timings as per Adox Scala pdf guide:

  • developer (solution reused for 2nd development step). DS-14 developer replenisher (i.e. without potassium bromide) and no addition of sodium thiosulphate. - used at standard strength.
  • bleach and clearing bath Successful regime for processing Fomapan R 100?
Results look very good as a starting point (film is still hanging to dry)

I did fix the film at the end of the process

For some reason the Adox Scala kit is listed as 'only for non-commercial use!' - not entirely sure what this means in context but my results should give encouragement that HR-50 / Scala 50 can be processed in an "open source" set of solutions.
