In this article, I refer to the format as "35mm" rather than the Wikipedia style for measurements which would dictate "35 mm". I chose this because (a) "35mm" is the most common way of referencing the topic in the literature, and (b) the 35mm namesake is the width of a film stock, and doesn't even refer to any dimension of the format, which is 24×36 mm. In other words, 35mm is primarily a moniker now, not a measurement. --Stybn (talk) 03:13, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence reads:

24×36 mm film format or image sensor format used in photography. It has an aspect ratio of 3:2

Shouldn't it be 36X24 or 2:3? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.172.80.202 (talk) 19:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

«FX» and «FX-Format» is almost exclusively used by Nikon. Some 3rd party manufacturers also use the term. FX/FX-Format is not trademarked by Nikon in the USA according to a TESS search from the USPTO. FX/FX-Format is not listed on the Nikon website as a trademark as, «FX™» or «FX-Format™». I do not think it ought to be listed as a Nikon TM unless we can show it is trademarked in some other jurisdiction such as Japan/Aisa, EU, some European country, Austrailia, Canada, etc. Applied Logics 18:27, 2 February 2017 (UTC) Applied Logics 18:35, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

It appears to me that the "35 mm Today" section is poorly developed, and makes several subjective claims without reference. It credits social media as a contributing factor to the growing popularity of photography in general, without making any comments that are directly specific to the 35 mm format. It is not obvious how citing age demographics of Instagram is relevant. Nordithen (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree -- all unsourced. I have copied it here for reference. Should be removed absent source. 68.43.0.152 (talk) 18:29, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

35 mm Today: In the 21st century, with such a strong influence from social media, it is easy to notice social media’s role in the resurgence of 35 mm film. With the use of hashtags on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites, these photographs are being spread quicker than ever before. 30% of Instagram users are between the ages of 18 and 24, which also plays a factor in the film’s rising popularity. It attracts its audience by standing out to the younger generation and has all the fuel it needs to continue growing. It’s safe to say that social media is the main catalyst for the popularity of 35 mm. Instagram, in particular, is known for its documentative presence online and has turned into a hub for photography, not only 35 mm. Below are a number of 35 mm photographs that have been published on Instagram. From big influencers to small personal accounts, 35 mm is making its comeback.

Thanks for pointing this out, I've removed it. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to do a rewrite of this section, likely moving most of its content into the "invention" section and the focal length equivalent information into the section about lenses. The section is completely uncited and the tone is off a little. Wanted to check what other folks thought before I committed to this.
