It not only wants to coil into a tight little roll it wants to curl into a ball from the sides.  Arrrrggg (That is the sound Of frustration)  The curling was so bad that I couldn&#8217;t even scan it as colour because of all the shifts from the orange C41 mask, or hold it flat.

So to move an object on the glass to the left the camera needs to be turned to the right.  I tend to tilt the horizon for some reason so the red lines are very helpful.  Another added aid is the small magnifier (not shown here) that can be popped out to check focus on the glass.   Modifying this camera (<a href=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/?p=6251\">Yashica 44 35mm conversion<\/a>) is a great way of making it usable again despite the fact that it is a film orphan.
