Reminds me of the steel coil left on a coffee can key back when you had to remove coffee can lids with keys (ask Ted about these if you're a post-boomer). (2) developed film is as purple as a tinted window on a Grambling University SUV (3) gelatin emulsion has an annoying habit of peeling away from the film (4) #3 isn't all that important because the incredible coiledness of the film leaves long scratches on the film as you try to drag that mainspring to a flattened position behind the lens. Haven't tried it yet? Take my advice. Buy 1 roll (post-dated if possible) Jeffery =============================== What don't you like about Efke? I've never tried any myself, but keep thinking I should one of these days.
