[LargeFormat] demand for 3x4 film?

[Hornford, Dave]

Brock,
You neglected to calculate the volume needed to refrigerate 106 years
worth of film.

Hey, that's not bad... 5,000 sq m is about 1.25 acres.  Or 7,750,000 sq=20
inches.  A sheet of 4x5 film is 20 square inches, so you'd have 387,500=20
sheets.  If you shot 10 sheets per day (including holidays and weekends)

you'd have enough to satisfy your need for 106 years.

Can we assume you told them to start the presses? ;-)
