Hi, Ed,

I just store them laid flat in the paper sleeves they come in for a week
or so which significantly reduces curl. If stored this way for a longer
period, e.g. a month or so, they're almost completely flat. I have a
Nikon LS-40 which is said to have DOF problems with curled film but I
still have to meet a negative or slide I cannot get a scan of which is
sharp from corner to corner.

See ya -

Ralf
