28 mm PAL

[peyes]

I know there has to be a simple reason a Pal can not be 25, 28, 35 mm or whatever wide. Why?

Logically, for the same reason that cell phone screens became micro, and face time was replaced by texting, and F-book..........and Tin(der) replaced relationships.

Very simple, they can not make it any wider than they come, because the peripheral areas to the side would be so distorted, that they would smell bad.
