The Efke film is no curlier than other films as far as I can tell.  It does
have a pink color after processing.  I tried the trick people have
recommended for Tmax of leaving it on the light box for a few hours to get
rid of the pink.  It works!

I'm pretty sure I got my stuff in the 70's from Freestyle, but haven't heard
that name in decades. The only negative memories I had about the Adox was
that it was incredibly curly (hard to get onto a stainless steel reed), and
the film base was incredibly purple.
