8 mm FILM
Capacity.
The Bolex C 8 camera is designed to take "double" 8 mm film on 25-ft. Spools.
Leader.
In reality, unexposed 25ft. spools of double-8 mm film contain somewhat over
33ft. of film, due to the fact that a length of leader about 4ft. long is allowed for at each end,
so that the camera can be loaded and unloaded without fogging the film. The leaders are
removed after development, and the film is finally returned as a single strip of ordinary 8mm
film, 50 feet (i.e. 2 x 25 ft.) in length yielding about 4 minutes' screening time.

Choice of film.
There are several different types of double-run 8 mm black-and-white or
colour film available on the marker. Each category is determined by the speed of the emulsion and the figures in
which this speed is expressed are used as a reference when consulting exposure tables or meters.

Black-and-white film.
Depending on the lighting conditions, the movie-maker has, generally speaking, a
choice between either:
a film of medium speed (22 degrees Scheiner, or 10 ASA), for outdoor shots in daylight, or a flim of higher speed (28
degrees Scheiner, or 40 ASA), for outdoor shots in poor light and more
especially, for indoor shots.
