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:
By the way, Ken, do you guys do slide scanning? I have quite a few slides that I would like to have scanned in and saved to a JPEG file and put on CD or DVR. I've been thinking about buying a slide scanner, but after the great job you did on the first batch of 8mm video, I'm wondering if you can handle my slide project as well.
