  35 mm film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The photographic film is cut into strips 35 millimeters wide, with six perforations per inch (4.23 mm per perforation) along both edges.
The film format was introduced into still photography as early as 1913 (the Tourist Multiple) but first became popular with the launch of the Leica camera, created by Oskar Barnack.
Most films today are shot and projected using the 4-perforation format, but cropping the top and bottom of the frames for a medium aspect ratio of 1.85 or 1.67.

 One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
Whereas film equipment has undergone drastic changes in the course of a century it is a little miracle that 35mm has remained the universally accepted film size.
It was the Ikonograph, using 17,5mm film with a large center perforation.
An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.

 Photographic: 35mm Film Buyer's Guide
A film's sharpness is a function of grain size, acutance (how distinct an edge there is between adjacent light and dark areas) and resolving power (how many line pairs per millimeter the film can separate), among other things.
Films are often listed by their ID code rather than by name in film-store ads, and working photographers often refer to films by these codes instead of by name.
For each film, we provide (where available) the ISO rating, the granularity rating (RMS for most manufacturers; Kodak's Print Grain Index for Kodak color-print films), resolving power (in lines per millimeter, for high- and low-contrast test targets), the film ID code, and a brief description of the film, plus a photo of the film box.

 How many pixels are there in a frame of 35mm film?
Film is an analog medium, so it doesn't have "pixels" per se, though film scanners have pixels and a specific resolution.
The finest films (which are slow and best with sunlight or flash) have very fine grain, and in many cases, the limits of the lenses blur the image before the grains start causing too much trouble.
These films, with good lenses, are capable of resolving as much as 7000 pixels (3500 "line pairs") over the width of a 35mm frame -- about 5000 dots per inch.

 Film 35mm Print and Slide Film
The speed of a roll of film is measured according to an International Standards Organization (ISO) scale, with the most common varieties being ISO 100, 200, 400 and 800.
These numbers are referred to as the film's "speed" because each level is twice as sensitive to light as the last and will expose more quickly, allowing a faster shutter speed to be used.
For example, the Nikon D1X will let you set the "film speed" between ISO 125 and ISO 800 so that the camera's sensitivity to light and light meter will behave as if it were loaded with the selected speed of film.

 Vertical 35mm film formats
When the compressed image on the film frame is passed through the Anamorphic lens on the projector, the lens stretches the picture back to it's original dimensions.
When shooting the film, soundtrack lines are not used because the sound is record on tape that is synchronized with the speed of the camera.
Since their is no sound lines the film frame that would have been 1.33x1 is now 1.6x1) The camera operator frames the picture with all of the action within a 2.35x1 rectangle on the film.

 Digital or 35MM?
Really good film shots on 35mm can have as many as 20 million pixels, though in reality they range from 8 to 15 million.
In addition, the film pixels, sampled by a good scanner are 36 bits or even 42 bits -- 12 to 14 bits of range per colour.
Ordinary film photographers tend not to shoot more than a moderate number of rolls a year, but on digital they hit the 1000 shot target quickly.

 Digital cameras vs. film, part 1
Film responds to light with a nice "S" curve--as light intensity increases, density gradually levels off in a region known as the response "knee," which is responsible for much of the detail and beauty in the highlights of fine silver-based prints.
With film the steps are (1) Exposure, using layered film, where dye-couplers determine the sensitivity of the layers, and (2) development, where the dye couplers determine the color (light absorption) of each layer.
Since the 10D's sensor dimensions are 15.1/24 = 0.63 as large as 35mm, the total resolution at the 50% level is (61/46.7) * (15.1/24) = 0.82 that of 35mm 4000 dpi Provia.

 Cafe ILFOPRO - Loading/Developing 35mm film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This is old hat to many here, but one of the most frequent problems people new to developing their own 35mm film seems to be getting the film loaded properly onto the reels.
The typical problem is that the film likes to jump the spirals in the reel, causing large, irregular sections to be undeveloped - that yucky opaque tan color.
Also, holding the edges of the yet-to-be-loaded film between the thumb and index finger of the film-holding hand, and resting the thumb and index finger against the outside edge of the reel keeps just the right amount of curvature, and helps to avoid putting too much tension on the film.

 Reviews OnLine: Film Scanners
They also tend to have optical resolutions in the 300-600 dpi range, which is generally not high enough to adequately handle the tiny image found on 35mm film (a little over a square inch).
35mm film scanners have resolutions that range from 300 dpi to over 4,000 dpi and include software that can specifically handle negative images and differences in film types.
If you are an amateur or professional 35mm film photographer and want to get with the digital generation, you can use the Tamarack Artiscan 2400FS, a low priced 35mm film scanner.

 35mm Fuji and Kodak Camera Film
In very high light situations, the lower-speed films will allow you to have a greater variety of shutter speeds, while for sports or low light situations faster ones will let you capture the action with a fast shutter speed.
Besides the differences in speed, normal fl and white films can be divided into three classes: conventional films, tabular or other 'designer grain' films with specially adapted crystal shapes, and chromogenic.
Conventional 35 mm films and chromogenic films are generally more forgiving to errors in exposure than tabular grain films.

 Fotogenetic - 35mm Film and the Golden Rectangle
At the time, the miniature film format of 24 x 36 mm was created by simply doubling the cinema film format.
The origins of the aspect ratio of 35mm film can be traced to Oskar Barnack, an employee of Leitz Camera in Germany.
There are many other film formats with different aspect ratios to choose from, but there is something special about the 3:2 aspect ratio--it happens to have the closest proportions to the Golden Rectangle of any other major film format out there, with the sole exception of European widescreen.

Most 35mm compacts and modern SLRs are able to read the DX coding on the film canister and set the film speed automatically.
One suggestion is to wind the film leader entirely into the canister when the roll has been exposed.
Although we did not include 35mm rangefinder cameras in this chart because of their declining numbers, photographers need to be aware of this option, one classic example of a 35mm rangefinder is Leica's M System cameras and lenses.
