Hi Austin,
One reason I've always used 36 rolls simply because they are economically better
for the pocket book. And I hate changing film so often with shorter rolls.

Cut the 36 exp strips in lengths of 5 frames and use a 7 strip sleeve page,
they fit perfectly on an 8 X 10 . And they fit  in el-cheapo 3 ring binders
along with there three hole punched contact page. .
