Dennis Toeppen Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello, I'm getting ready to have some 16/8 2R (regular 8) V3 50D spooled onto 100' daylight spools. Last time around, Wittner did this for me. Somehow, we settled on 108' as the correct length for a 100' roll. I'm wondering if anyone knows differently? I hate when film runs out before counter, because it leads to lost shots. Thanks in advance for any knowledge/wisdom you choose to share. These will be priced at $150 each, btw. Sorry it's so high, but this is very costly stuff to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted April 29, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think they're around 110ft I believe. It goes right to the edge of the spool. So I wind them until it feels like they do new. Just remember, they use a special winding machine that makes the film go back and forward on the spool, thus preventing light leaks from the edges going down an exposing more of the roll when loading. Yea price has to be high because ya gotta get it re-perforated, it's a pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted April 29, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 Foma Bohemia are the chintziest, I have measured 406½' with a 400-ft. load. Hundred-footers vary between 108 and 115 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Toeppen Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks, Simon. If anyone is looking for 8mm film, I just listed four 8mm products on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/toeppenfilm/m.html?item=313977700645&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 I know, I know...the price is high, film is dead, yadda yadda. Spare me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
