RE: 70mm film

["Rolland Elliott" <rolland_elliott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

70mm film is just like 35mm film except that it is twice as wide hence the 
name 70mm film. The film casettes are also about twice as big but look 
pretty much the same as its smaller 35mm cousin.

The film is used in a variety of cameras, mostly medium format cameras with 
70mm backs such as Mamiya, RB RZ, Hasselblad, Pentax 645N, Bronica, Etc. I 
also believe it is used in specialized movie cameras like IMAX movie 
cameras.  In my opinions it is one of the best film formats around. However, 
it is extremely pricy since almost no one uses it.

Peace, Rolland Elliott
