I realised that I had a couple of films to print and with my Birthday a month away I would need to eek my remaining stock of paper. I had an unopened pack of 25 sheets of Ilford Warmtone Glossy 8 X 10 so I decided to cut them in half under red light with a scalpel. Suddenly I realised that I had made the perfect size proportionately for 35mm negs illuminated with a 50mm Enlarger Lens. No wastage a perfect size. I wonder why paper manufacturers don’t make exact sizes? After all what would be wrong, for instance with square paper for those using 120 film. I don’t see that the paper makers should assume they will always want to crop. I, for one prefer not to crop as 35mm is not exactly huge to start with but in future I shall but 8 X 10 and cut it in half
