Not if you get it from the right place. Is there a Price/Costco near 
you? They sell five roll boxes of 100 ASA 36 exposure for $17.99.

B&H (big mail order company in NY) sells 36 exposure rolls of 100 ASA 
for $4.29 for US and $3.19 for Import. The Import stuff is grey 
market and you take your chances on where it has been.

Fritz Brown on this list has posted several times about reverse 
processing B&W negative film (check the archives). The main problem 
is that most of the better films for this are on a film base that 
depolarizes light. That means that you can not project them unless 
you have a projector with the polarizing filters after the film.

I do not know from experience, but I have been told that Agfa Scala 
is very prone to fading when projected. It also has a strange cast 
for my tastes.

That's all for now,
