Why weren't 8x12 prints ever a common printing size? I know that today such prints can be made through places like Adorama. It doesn't make any sense because the aspect ratio of 35mm film cameras, modern full frame DSLR's and APS-C DSLR's all have sensors with a 2:3 aspect ratio.
Printing an 8x10 photo from a 35mm film camera or a full frame DSLR means that you're only printing from a 24mm by 30mm segment of the sensor, so you're handing over creative control of your photos to some pimply faced kid.
