The film used in fhe 8 mm cine camera is 1 6 mm (0.63 inch) in widfh and 7V2 mefer (25 feel) in leng^h. A half of this width Is exposed on the first run-through. The film spool is then reserved, and the remain ing half can be exposed.
The exposed film is sent to the manufacturer of the film who will develop and slice it. It will be returned on a new reel as 1 5 meter (50 feet) of 8 mm (0.32 inch) finished film and can be shown with an 8 mm projector.
One reel of this 8 mm film takes 4 minutes on the screen, whereas with the same amount of time, a 1 6 mm film would use some 30 meters of film. Therefore, 8 mm movie is not only enjoyable but also eco nomical for your home enter tainment.
