Hey, why not just expose an APS-sized negative on 35mm film? Just think
of all the extra room you'd have for data imprinting on the film! You
could have shutter speed, aperture, exposure mode & compensation,
metering mode, focal length, time, date, film ISO (if the DX code is
overridden), latitude, longitude & altitude (the camera would of course
have built-in GPS), outside temperature, sign of the zodiac,
birthstone...
