I'm not sure what industry you have in mind, but it has been the years I've
spent in photography that taught me how prevalent 35mm is, and now digital is
becoming very prevalent, too.  Some old-world editors may still prefer MF, but
since MF quality cannot be reproduced on even the best magazine covers, it is a
pointless anachronism.
