Hi all, straight forward question, just looking to know what size paper dimensions are available for printing from 35mm negs that will equally match the frame of the neg... Ive been using 8 x 10 and have constantly had to crop or use boarders in the darkroom. Thanks

6x4 or multiples thereof I think? So you'd want 12x8

yep - 24x36mm is the standard size, as far as i can remember, so a 2:3 ratio.

The strange thing is that few paper manufacturers make a 12x8 paper even though most hobbyists use 35mm. I usually buy 12x16 paper and cut it to 12x8 when printing from 35mm negs.
