This is a work in progress.
Roll film, and related cartridge-based films were available in many different sizes, some of which lasted only a short time. The most popular was the longest-lived, type 120 was introduced in 1901 by Kodak, and is still (2010) available. Film size number were not used by Kodak until 1913[1]. In Japan, many film sizes had alternative names; see Japanese formats.
