There is no such thing as 70mm film for cine-photography purposes.  That
is, no 70mm film EVER goes through a motion-picture camera.  70mm is a
release print format, for projection.  It gives 5mm more film to put
soundtracks and reel synchronization signals on.  No 65mm film EVER goes
through a motion-picture projector.

A corrolary might be that 4x5 film is used for original photography, and
4x6 are used for prints.  But there is no such thing as a modern 4x6
camera (please don't research the history of photography and tell me
that in 1887 someone in France built a 4x6 camere, I'm sure someone
did).  I'm talking about common modern sizes.
