Response to Cutting film for archiving

Some (most?) 35mm cameras position the frames at a fixed position relative to the sprocket holes. If your camera does this, it can give you more confidence in cutting with scissors, because you can start the cut relative to the sprocket holes instead of trying to line up between the frames. The Leica used to be one of the few cameras that spaced frames so you always cut exactly between two sprocket holes, but I think most cameras now do this.
