Home Movie Film Reel Sizes
Reel Sizes and Film Formats Movie film was returned from the photo labs generally on 50 and 100 foot reels. Many were then spliced onto reels of 200, 300, and 400 feet. Some super 8 film was spliced onto 600 and 800 foot reels as well. 16mm film was spliced onto reels up to 14 inches or 2000 feet.
3 Inch Reel = 50 Feet 4 Inch Reel = 100 Feet 5 Inch Reel = 200 Feet 6 Inch Reel = 300 Feet 7 Inch Reel = 400 Feet 8 inch Reel = 600 Feet 10 inch Reel = 800 Feet 12 inch Reel = 1200 Feet 14 inch Reel = 1600 Feet 15 inch Reel = 2000 Feet This is not exact since some film had a thinner base, and 400 feet would fit on a 6 inch reel.

Unsolicited Customer Testimonial:
I received the video transfer of my films last weekend, and I just wanted to say thanks for doing such a good job. I was especially pleased and surprised that you color-corrected one of the films. The film was tinted pink during the original processing back in 1984 and I have NEVER seen it with proper coloration--until now.
Thanks a lot for the speedy and excellent service.
