Hi Bruce,
I've encountered some problems with film curl and 6x7 negs, but it can
be minimized. First, I don't allow the lab to roll my film. I tell them
to just sleeve it and hang it. When they give me the roll, I cut it into
individual frames, leafing the sleeve in place. I then place the

You only have to worry about that if you are using non-TTL meter. The TTL
meter measures the light coming through the lens so automatically
compensates.
BTW, a 2x converter has a 2 stop exposure factor. That is simply because it
makes the lens 2x as long. For instance, a 50mm f2 has a 25mm apertu
