This is a comparison of different frame sizes on 16mm film used in subminiature still cameras.
* The 10x14mm frames are shot with a Minolta 16 MG (1966-1971).
* The 12x17mm size frames are made with a Minolta 16 MG-s (1970-1974).
Double perf film - that is the old school movie film perforated on both sides - will of course work too, but the sprocket holes will likely protrude into the picture frame, particulary with the 12x17mm frame size.
Film strip length
Cut the film to about 48-50 cm (approximately 19 inches) to secure 18-20 exposures on each cassette. Be carefull with making longer film strips as the receiving chamber of the 16mm film cartridge is really small. Too much film may cause jamming of the film transport.
Number of frames
The Minolta 16 MG takes 20 10x14mm frames and the later Minolta 16 MG-s takes 18 12x17mm frames with slightly narrower frame spacing. This means that the sufficient film length is the same for both cameras.
Loading the cassettes
Try to get the side with sprocket holes down in the cassette first, then there is less risk of protrusion of the sprocket holes into the frames.
