Digital BW, The Print

perhaps one reason is that 35mm film came along after standard papers were made to be used with LF film.
 
Full frame 35mm images can be made at 6x9 or 8 x12.
 
Pre-cut windows can be purchased in the 6x9 sizes , and they are salon hung, or otherwise known as being bottom weighted.
 
There are several companies that custom cut windows fairly cheaply, especially if you order at least 12 at a time. These are 8 ply windows, which are difficult to hand cut .  4 ply windows will be cheaper.  try redimat.com
 
16x20 windows, 12 all cut the same direction run about 7.96 a piece.

Last question of on this topic.

Maybe this is just a rhetorical question, but, since the aspect ratio of 33mm and dslr's is 2:
3, why don't pre-cut mats follow this ratio?

Is is because medium and large format cameras have different aspect ratios? Is it because 
the art community (painters) have traditionally used the sizes provided?

The guys at the local frame shop didn't have an answer.

Thanks again,

Steve
