I have shot stereo slides on Agfa Scala and have been happy 
with the results.  I have projected them without problem in 
my TDC 716.  I did not have a problem with depolarization, 
nor did I have any problems with heat damage, although 
others have reported heat damage from projecting Scala in 
older projectors.  I might just have better heat absorbing 
glass.  I haven't used it extensively, and need to experiment 
with it more.  It seems that an orange or red filter is 
needed to avoid washed out skies.  It is also a fast film, 
so the grain is visible.  It is, however, an interesting 
effect.
