I wish the fancy scroll nonsense would go away.

For example I wanted to look at the first picture in the horizontal gallery that scrolls horizontally when you scroll vertically. However, there is no way for me to view the whole image. Either it is cutoff at the bottom, or it starts horizontally scrolling. Switching from vertical to horizontal scrolling is awkward and I just want to skip the gallery.

scrolling on that page feels slow, sluggish, and if you switch to spacebar, you actually miss significant content since it only loads/becomes visible halfway into the page.

Like others have said, dust is a huge issue. Some film labs cut film into short strips. some film is just a single image (for example if previously cut to fit into slides).

The film is designed to form into a coil. So, if there's grit or any hard material you'll end up with scratches on the negative itself.

--is it only 35mm as well? I don't think I see any mention of formats it supports. So I can only assume it's just 35mm.-- EDIT: found the 120mm section in the FAQ.

It’s a cancer on the web. Apple started it and I hate them for it. And I’m an Apple fan.

If I wanted to wait 1/2 second for each part of the page to load I’d have stayed on dialup.

Wasn't the NYT that started this?

In my recollection, NYT started/popularized the whole "reportage as a interactive story with stuff moving as you scroll" on the web, but I think it was web developers wanting to emulate the Macbook/iPhone inertia scroll that started the whole "lets override scroll behaviour" trend.

The first I ever saw of it was the NYT story about the deadly avalanche at Stevens Pass in WA state. I liked it for that story but not so much for this product site.

Oh that does sound familiar. I think you’re right.

Apple certainly made it popular for product pages though.

Nike mainstreamed it, I think - https://onepagelove.com/nike-better-world
