   In a message dated 04-10-15, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Ed,   
      
   EV> There are a few echos in the packet before this echo and I (usually)   
   EV> will read messages in those echos, and when I get to a message that   
   EV> I want to Reply to, I do that and when I've read all of the messages   
   EV> in those echos I start reading this echo.   
      
   I do always start reading at the top of the area listing, that's where   
   the area for personal mail is. In my mind any personal mail is more   
   important than anything else in other areas.   
      
   EV> I do that so when I want to save messages in this (or other) echos,   
   EV> they will be saved in the order they are in the list.   
      
   Then I may skip some area of less interest to pick up later, if I have   
   the time for it.   
      
   EV> I never heard of a "kino" camera, so before writing this reply I   
   EV> took a look to see what it was all about.   
      
   EV> The LomoKino Camera uses a 36 (Standard Frame Size for a Still   
   EV> Camera) Exposure Roll of 35mm Film.   
      
   36 mm film has always been used for cinema cameras/projectors until   
   todays digital recordings.   
      
   16 mm film was used by news reporters allover the world and 8 mm film   
   was used for hobby use. 8 mm film actually was 16 mm film split length-   
   wise or it could be used as is by turning the spool around and using   
   the other side just like a C-cassette used for audio.   
      
   I still have a Paillard Bolex "double eight" film camera where the spool   
   was turned around to use the other half of the 16 mm film.   
      
   EV> So we're both right about the number 36 except it didn't mean mm for   
   EV> Your Camera.   
      
   Suit yourself but the Fuji Film box containing raw film says 24x36mm   
   where the 24 mm is the "height" of the film and 36 mm the width.
