35mm
If you’re a photography fan or
film aficionado, you’re sure to
have heard of 35mm, with its
distinctive 4 perforations per
frame. It was first produced by
Thomas Edison in 1892, on
Kodak stock. Originally, Edison
used it for his Kinectoscope – but
it swiftly became Hollywood
standard for all cameras.

9.5mm
Probably the rarest of all cine film
types, 9.5mm was seriously popular
throughout Europe at the turn of
the century. Pathe wanted to use it
to allow audiences to watch
commercial films at home. Their
plan might’ve worked too, if a
young pretender hadn’t arrived on
the scene.

16mm
In 1923 Kodak unveiled its
cheaper alternative to 35mm.
Created in order to give film
fans an affordable way to
create their own movies, it was
also adopted by television

kinds of 16mm film over the
years…

8mm
When it comes to home movies,
8mm is king. Kodak released their
first 8mm cine film reel in 1932.
The picture quality isn’t as good
as either 16mm and 35mm, but it
did offer an affordable way to
capture all those special moments
in life. And it was so popular that
in 1965, Kodak brought out Super
8.
