===70 mm film β still versus cine=== For some professional medium-format cameras, those used in school portraiture for example, long-roll film magazines were available. Most of these accommodated rolls of film that were 100 ft (30.5 m) long and 70 mm wide, sometimes with perforations, sometimes without. Some cameras, such as the [[Hasselblad]], could be equipped with film magazines holding 15 foot rolls of double perforated 70 mm film passed between two cassettes. 70 mm was a standard roll film width for many decades, last used as late as the 1960s for 116 and 616 size roll films. It was also used for aerial photo-mapping, and it is still used by [[70 mm film|large format cinema]] systems such as [[IMAX]]. '''70 mm film''' used in still cameras, like [[Mamiya]] and Hasselblad, and '''70 mm print film''' used in IMAX projectors have the same gauge or height as '''120 film.''' With '''70 mm cine''' projector film, the perforations are inset by 2.5 mm to make room for the old-style optical sound tracks; a standard established by [[Todd-AO#Todd-AO process|Todd-AO]] in the 1950s. IMAX cameras use '''65 mm film,''' which have perforations and pitch that match-up to the '''70 mm film''' used in IMAX projectors.
