Low grain, great resolution, nice pop, great infrared response
Not as much exposure latitude as most 400 speed black and white films

Scala 50 is an excellent film where detail is needed. Rodinal 1+25 semi-stand, 10 minutes at 22C with one gentle inversion at 5 minutes develops it quite well. May need image stabilized lenses or tripod due to slow speed.

Great infrared response, with a 720nm filter I had great results rating it at 6. That's the same speed I rate Rollei Infrared 400 (Aviphot 200) at, which is much grainier with poorer quality control.

Also a great film for reversal processing, but I've only developed it as negative so far.
