116 is a roll film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899 for 2½×4¼ inch negatives (nominally 6.5×11 cm).[1] The film stock is 70mm wide: wider than that of 120 film.
In 1932, Kodak introduced 616 film.[1] This has a slightly slimmer spool (originally metal rather than wood). Agfa/Ansco gave the 616 size their own designation PD16. Kodak discontinued both 116 and 616 in 1984.[1]
With some ingenuity, 120 film can be used with cameras designed for 116 and 616, as can 70mm film. (Remember that if you respool 120 film onto 116/616 spools and have it developed at a lab, you must ask for your 116/616 spools back or they'll be thrown away.)
