Don't European folks mention the long end first, then the shallow end? And in cm? 8x10 isn't big at all, and pretty much is a standard size. But I don't print much at that shape, because 35mm loses a lot. Full frame is wider, or the depth is shallower. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch If voting could really change things, it would be illegal. - - Revolution Books.
