116 film
This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
116 is a roll film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899 for 2½×4¼ inch negatives (nominally 6.5×11 cm). The film stock is 70mm wide: wider than that of 120 film.
In 1932, Kodak introduced 616 film. This has a slightly slimmer spool (originally metal rather than wood). Kodak discontinued both 116 and 616 in 1984.
With some ingenuity, 120 film can be used with cameras designed for 616, as can 70mm film.
