anyone ever use Lucky film

I ordered 10 rolls of the stuff and it just came in. Took about a week from Taiwan, not bad considering im sure it sat in customs for 2 days minimum.

Supposed to be similar to Tri-X.

I ordered 10 rolls of it back when it first became available - - it had horrible curl but it processed fine in Diafine. My son & I about about 3 rolls and ended up relegating the remainder to experimentation...

is it just really really thin? The curl shouldnt matter once I get it into archival sheets.

For only $1 a roll its hard to beat. I only paid $10 for 10 rolls.

It's funny, I expected to be able to get the curl out of it with my usual method...

The Arista.Edu also has a curl, but once I got it into the negative pages, I would put a few sheets of it on the work table and put a Websters Unabridged Dictionary on top of it for a week or so. Then when you took the film out of the sheets, it still had a tiny bit of curl, but nothing like when it started - - easily manageable.

I was never able to get the Lucky film not to curl... and if you could get it into the scanning holders, when you opened the holder up, the film would spring out and fly across the room!

See I bought my scanner used and it didnt come with the holders, so I put the negs straight into the archival sheets and scan it through the sheets. I get good results that way.

I guess it's fun doing this, that and the other the hard way.
Have fun.
