Efke 100 - is it worth flattening it?

[Muggins]

Developed a roll of the above in 127 the night before last, took the weight off 24hrs later, and it rolled straight back up again. The stuff is curlier than the curlier bits of a pig!

So... Do I just put up with the curl and store it rolled, somehow, or do I find a handy steamroller and park that on the film?

Your views/experiences/rants would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Adrian

When I have film that likes too much to roll up, I roll it up backwards for a week or two. Not too tightly, say a three-inch roll, and don't wind it large and then cinch it down--that will make lengthwise scratches. Just be careful, and it will be OK>

Efke (Adox) 25 is pretty curly as well. I just wear white cotton gloves when putting it into the neg carrier for the scanner. I store it in normal neg sleeves, but I have no idea if it flattens out (haven't looked).
