Can someone give a quick inches or centimenters dimension of the Euro A size
papers?
Thanks.

My point was only that it puzzles me to see film manufacturers use one set
of length/width ratios, paper manufacturers a second set, and now digital
sensors use a third... If they REALLY
wanted to do it right and minimize waste, they'd first make a sensor in the
aspect ratio people use the most and then make the papers to fit.
What would REALLY be nice is if everyone would adopt the European A/B/C
system.
It uses a proportion that is fractal -- no matter how many times you divide
it,
the aspect ratio remains the same.
