I don't know if it's the cause, but washing film for 30 minutes? Why? Unless
you're using PMK, egads that's a real waste of water.
Some film bases are just that way like Kodak Infrared was. Also high heat &
low humidity while drying will do it. Use a hypo clear of any flavor you like,
wash for 5 minutes and Flo as you do, and have a humidifier running while
drying or a tray of water in the bottom of the drying cabinet, if you're in low
humidity environs like Chicago.
Is the curl running the length or width of the film? If it runs the width then
I'd say it's the heat/humidity thing.

Subject: [pure-silver] Rollei Retro 100 Curl Problems
In the hope that RR 100 would replace my beloved APX 100 in 120, I bought
a box. The negs look great but the Retro *curls* like crazy. I've typically
wash for about 30 mins and then soak in a PhotoFlo solution for 30sec,
followed by hanging the film with weights. I have seen extreme curl
both longitudinally and laterally. Any ideas how to comabt this?
P.S. It is rumored that the RR 120 is cur out of the bulk *35mm* stock
left over at Agfa. This might explain the curl, but I still need to
fix the problem. This is the worst curling film I've ever used in
any format.
TIA,
