For most of the short time I've been using 4x5 I've used B&W film and developed myself. Over the last few months I used 10 sheets of Velvia 50, and as they were my 'learning' film, I used a cheap 10 GBP for 10 4x5 E6 processing lab service off eBay UK. They arrived back Saturday in individual clear sleeves in the original Velvia box I shipped them in. As the sleeves were larger than the centre part of the box, they were curved to fit, so I've been trying to flatten them between some heavy books. To date, they are still buckled, and I know they won't lay flat in the scanner mask. Is this a normal way to return processed film? If I re soak and dry, should they straighten? These are S shaped, with roughly 5-6 mm bends, my home processed FP4+ are flat. Are the 4 grip puncture marks in the corners also normal? Now I'm more confident in using LF all future colour film will go to Peak Imaging, as does my 35mm and MF.
