Subject: Re: DX coding and canister capacity
Not unless you use ester-thin base film from Kodak, I'm not even sure that it's still available, (it was a relatively low speed B&W if I recall correctly).
You could spool 72 frames into a standard cassette. Tri-X could safely go to about 40.

If I'm not mistaken, DX coding allows for coding a film canister for 72 shots.
If so, that means one could put *at least* 72 shots in a blank canister if you buy film by meters (17 meters is usual I think).
I'm right or did I drink a too stong of a beer?
I'm sure I could buy the film and ask someone to do it for me (put it into the canister) I do NOT have any suitable room unfortunately ...

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
