Film flatness has never been a problem with either system ever. The only time it has ever been an issue was when shooting cars on 10" x 8" with tungsten lights on a 4 minute exposure and we deduced that it was the heat of the light buckling the film. However if anyone has an example of the problem to show me I would be interested. On the thoery of letting your film settle after winding on, just how do you shoot a portrait if you are waiting around for the "settle". As we would say in the north of England " what a lot of cobblers" :) Mike Stone > Austin Franklin wrote: > > > > That makes NO sense.
