There is a photography book on the wishlist, I'd love to see that written. I don't think I have enough knowhow to write it myself.
Oh, and yes, Photography is a hobby of mine.

IIRC motion-picture film has to be developed differently too. I remember a horror story about someone cutting strips of 35mm movie film for camera use; the heat-resistant coating caused the lab a few thousand dollars of ruined chemical baths and angry customers.
I grew up with shop talk; my parents were professional photographers at TL7. (Emphasis on "were"; we never really recovered from the industry shift to TL8.)
