[photo-3d] Film Curl



    I had the same problem with Kodachrome 25. A&I and Kodalux would
ship the film on a tight spool. Once I started mounting, every film-chip
would bounce off the RBT rails.
    I solved this by simply hanging the film in the darkroom for a couple
of days with a weight on one end of it. After 2 days, there was NO film
curl at all. I would think the same method would work fine for any E6
film. I have shot quite a bit of the Provia 100F and have it processed
locally by a pro lab. They usually give it back in a plastic sleeve laying
flat in a envelope.
    So try the "Hanging-Film" technique.
