I remember 20's - I'm sure I had a camera that highlighted 20 and 36 on the
counter in fact. There are 12exp rolls around here which I've used as test
rolls but it isn't worth it - labs often charge the same for 12 or 24
because set up costs wiped out the difference (it took just as long to do a
12 and the paper cost difference was insignificant). These films were all
lousy consumer emulsions anyway.
Some pro films were available in 8exp rolls, I think, probably for studio
use (one customer, one roll).
