Question for non–North-American photographers, especially German ones: do you use the DIN system for film speed at all?
For those unaware, the “ISO” standard for film speed is actually a combination of the ASA and DIN systems, but everyone (English-speaking at least) seems to only use the ASA half and ignores the DIN half (proper notation for ISO would be “ISO 400/27°”, which is ASA 400 and DIN 27°), but now I'm wondering if even Germans still use DIN at all (since AFAIK West and East Germany were the only places DIN had substantial uptake)
