Alec, >> I'm curious: If you digitized a 35mm film frame in its complete resolution, how large a file would it be? << Full aperture 35mm is typically scanned at 2048 x 1556, which is close to 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Not all that area is actually used, though when projected. Also, you could scan film at at higher resolution, like 4096 x 3112, but that isn't done too much for multiple frames because of the amount of data. A 2k plate is about 9mb, but a 4k plate is about 38mb.
