Re: [photo-3d] Don't reverse roll!

[Linda Nygren <lnygren@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with Paul, having had the problem he describes. I prefer to
*hang* my unmounted film (from a clip attached to a curtain rod), with a
bit of weight on the bottom clip if necessary. Lately I have been having
my film processed locally so am getting it back unrolled & sleeved, but
I still hang it up until I have time to mount it. -Linda
