I'm just off to my darkroom to confirm something that's been bothering me 
for a while. The standard 35mm full
frame format is supposed to be 24 x 36mm or 1:1.5. This should mean that I 
can print full frame at 6x9", but
(this is the part that's bugging me...) the images from my Leica negatives 
never quite fit an opening of this
size on my easel. The only thing I can think of to explain this is that the 
Leica negs just aren't exactly
24x36mm.
OCD acknowledged, other comments ...?
