Hi:

Is it true that in the days of B&W film and optical track audio, that
the films were formatted differently in different countries?


No, but there is sometimes confusion regarding certain sheet films which
were given in metric sizes. You can still get those oddball sizes from J&C.


By "metric size", are you referring to the size of the film or are you
referring to the type of measurement used to measure the film?
