Idle curiosity drove me to dig out some 8mm film and do some figuring: 24
frames = 4 inches, so 100 feet would run about 5 minutes at 24 fps. On the
other hand, 7 inches of 16mm = 24 frames. That will maybe give you an idea of
running time based on reel size. AFAIK, the thickness of the films should be
about the same.
