In this article E. Michael Smith asks about 70 mm film:

> Is this stuff just for the Hollywood movie types to store selected
> frames from their 70mm movie films, or is somebody making 70mm
> still cameras to shoot the 70mm movie film?  If so, is the film
> packaged in a nice metal cassette like 35mm?  If so, will this be
> the future film for medium format cameras?  Or is all of this
> just marketing hype for some mundane size with another name?

	I don't know of any other specific applications (beyond the obvious
motion picture industry), but 70 mm film is used in some x-ray cinematography
apparatus for angiocardiography (visualizing the functioning heart and blood
vessels).  While this apparatus uses 70 mm roll film, the frame rate is
generally slower than that used for standard cinematography (i.e., < 24 fps).
	In this application, individual frames are kept, as opposed to viewing
a running film.
