Yep! 116 came out in 1899 (Brownie 2a IIRC) then Kodak made a more "modern" spool for it in the 1930s making the 616. It was almost large format! along with it's brother 118 (post card size) 116 and 616 were made until the 1980s!😲 If I'm right Kodak actually made 620 until 1994ish. I never saw it that late though.
One of the luxuries of digital imaging is the ability to scan old film. As long as it's B&W, you can probably make a better inkjet print from a scanned neg (and a little post-processing) than you ever could in a darkroom. At least, that's been my experience. I've been able to print negatives of old family photos that I couldn't pull much from in the dark.

All sensors are full size, none is cropped. A crop takes place only if you use a lens made for a smaller sensor. [quote]
I don't know about "cropped," but I do know "crocked" when I see it.

I just experienced that for the first time before Christmas.
Scanned a 35mm Tri-x neg on an Epson V700....amazing print quality from an ink jet.
Better than any print I ever made, (and I considered myself a pretty decent printer)

The range of fine art papers available is amazing.

Had it printed on Hahnemühle matte on a Noritsu inkjet printer at a camera store that went out of business just last week.
Need to find another place...

Find a pro lab or service bureau that uses Epson SureColor printers. They should take good care of you, including giving you their profiles for the papers they offer, so you can simulate output on your monitor.

I use my MF like I use my DSLR all the time, except for my Fuji (that's just too bulky for that)!
