In film specs when the type of film says "135" is that the same as
"35mm"? May sound pretty stupid to everyone out there, but I just
don't know. Thanks

I also forgot to ask in the last message: Can anyone recommend a vendor
site that sells 35mm Velvia 50 at a low price? Thanks again.

Yes, 35mm and 135 are one and the same.

I get my Velvia from www.7dayshop.com

Yes that is 35 mm. That 135 designation has been around at least since
the '70's. Just go to Wal-Mart and get some ISO 200 Fujicolor Super
HQ - can't go wrong with that.

Yes, the number 135 is the manufacturer designation for 35mm film in a
standard 35mm film cartridge. The rare 235 and 435 numbers refer to 35mm
film in special daylight loading spools (spools that work with only a few,
now mostly obsolete, cameras), while 335 refers to stereo format film in a
similar daylight loading spool. You will rarely find anything other than the
135 and 120 (medium format) numbers today, though some other formats, such
as 110 film, are still available here and there.

I buy my film from B&H also. I always get imported film and have never had
a problem.

135 is indeed 35mm, there 135-24 and 135-36.
