Actually, it is still available through specialty film mail-order companies.  
It's pricey, though.

 I just discovered that I have a Kodak 616 folder with negative sizes 4
 1/4 x 2 1/2 that is virtually new.  Inside it says to use 616 format.
 Can I put in 116 format or will I run into the same problems as 120 vs
 620?

Same problem, Guy.

116 preceded 616.  The latter being the same size film as the 116 (2.5),
was made with smaller diameter spool to fit thinner cameras.  616 still is
available from places selling film for classic cameras.  If you already have
116 film and have two 616 spools, re-spooling your 1116 on 616 is an option.
too.

I think it is a spindle problem...I went through my box of antiquities
(junk box according to others...  came up with a BRAND NEW ROLL of VP616!
It only went out of date in 1971. Though knowing verichrome pan, it's
probably still good
I could let you have it for some princely sum befitting its worth... 8o)
Let me know off line what you think... k?

Hi,

I know we had a discussion about the availabilty of 116 film recently.
However, I can't remember if this covered the question of 616 format vs
116 format.

I just discovered that I have a Kodak 616 folder with negative sizes 4
1/4 x 2 1/2 that is virtually new.  Inside it says to use 616 format.
Can I put in 116 format or will I run into the same problems as 120 vs
620?

Thanks (and my apologies if this was already covered in the earlier
discussion).

Guy

116 and 616 were discontinued in 1984.  See:

One of the best places to get information about old film sizes is
Thom Bells web site.
