Nikon SLR cameras (and Canon, Minolta, Pentax, Leica...) use 35mm film -
the roll of film you put into your camera is 35mm wide (that includes the
24mm height of the image and space on either side for the sprocket holes.)
This is why they are called 35mm cameras.
It is easy to confuse this with a 35mm lens, which is the optical focal length
of the lens and is not related to the width of the film.
