Quite right too old bean ...
Surely only someone who does not use metric units (who feels more
comfortable with feet and inches) could think that 35mm film strip was
only 24mm wide!!! Or maybe someone without access to both some film
strip and a ruler at one and the same time ...
The piece in fromt of me is 35mm wide (including sproket holes).
Perversely I measure the exposed frames as 24mm HIGH by 36mm WIDE
;o)
Must be something to do with instinct that landscape format is *the
norm* ...
