# TJ Asky:
I want to get some prints done tomorrow in a shop in town for my eldest's homework.

What aspect ratio do basic photographs have?

# Digital tends to be different to film, annoyingly.
Eg. film 6x5, digital 6x4.

I think film is 4:3 and digital is 3:2.

# other way round
digital is 4:3, film is 3:2

# So I want to take 4:3 images to the shop?

# i think whether you take 4:3 or 3:2 they'll crop them accordingly
but i'd advise 3:2. since I am not myself a Manley I cannot guarantee this is the best course of action, but it seems right to me.

# I'll go for 3:2, since the D70 chucks out
3008 X 2000 pixel images it's close enough already.
