Actually, the sheets in a box, and later in the filmholder, are in a state of quantum flux, neither portrait or landscape until the conscious mind of the photographer decides how to insert the holder. Only then does the state of uncertainty collapse and the film become "real." Schrödinger proved this, no matter how counter-intuitive it may seem.
120 film without a camera is in an even worse state of uncertainty: 6:4.5, 6:6, 6:7, 6:9, 6:17... portrait or landscape...
And, is it really black-and-white photography? Why not white-and-black? Or Fifty Shades of Grey? Or...?
