1-120 = 1-35mm 36 exp = 1-8x10 sheet.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Frank,

It's not exact, but close. Rule of thumb says both are 80 square inches.
I think the rule comes from both will fit on an 8X10 contact sheet. 120
measures 31" X 2 7/16" (75.5625 sq"). I don't have a scrap roll of 135
around so I can't give you exact measurements.

Thanks for the replies. I just got the ability to print color and want to give
processing the film a try!! The Tetenal C41 press kit costs $17 and by my
calculations I can process 24 sheets of film with it. My local lab charges two
dollars a sheet. The best part is that total processing time including the was is
ten minutes!! I can do that.

Is the Tetenal kit a rapid process? C41 is longer then 10 minutes usually.
3:15 just for the developer. Colour film developing is easy. It's boring but
it's easy-)

I just took a look at the instructions and the time I gave is for "fast" processing at
113 degrees which they don't recommend. At the recommended temperature of 100 degrees
the process takes ~13 minutes. That includes the wash time.

With my Jobo processor it doesn't even have to be boring since I can simply pour in
the chemistry and walk away.
