^Korek. Read more about Advanced Photo System in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Photo_System) and learn why some sensors are termed APS-C sized.

I dont have much experience or knowledge about film but i tried a film camera that uses 35mm film but when taking shots, instead of this size:

It divides into two, so, if you have 32 film shots, it turn into 64 film shots. thats i wanna know what kind of camera is that.

Something like Circa 1960's it's like a small SLR but lens is fixed..

Half-frame cameras like the Olympus Pen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-frame_camera

I remember before when I brought my a100 to sony center alabang for a clean up that i ask them if they can also clean old minolta lens and they say yes just bring it there. for sigma lens i think JT can do cleaning.

Sadly Jeff this isn't the case. We did bring some old minolta lenses to Sony PH for cleaning, and the lenses were indeed received, but they were returned promptly after a week because they don't have the necessary in-house expertise to clean them. We had to bring the lenses to Singapore pa...cleaning cost was reasonable naman at around Sin $65 per lens.

Well, you guys *do* have friends here in SG who could accept FedEx packages of lenses for cleaning, etc...
