Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
116 & 616 Film
116 and 616 are discontinued Kodak roll film formats, with 116 introduced in 1899 and the 70mm wide stock later re-spooled onto slimmer spools for the 616 format in 1932 for use in more compact cameras. Though the film stock is the same, 616 was a variation of 116 on a thinner spool, and while they are no longer in production, modern 70mm film can be re-spooled for use in these cameras today. 116 Film was introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899, using 70mm wide stock. 616 Film, introduced in 1932, this format uses the same 70mm wide stock as 116 film but on a slimmer spool, designed for more compact cameras. Both formats produce large, postcard-sized negatives (approx. 63.5 x 108 mm) that allowed for contact printing without an enlarger. The popularity of these formats declined in favor of smaller format films like 120, especially as film resolution improved and enlargers became common.
Kodak officially discontinued both 116 and 616 films in 1984, although they fell out of general use much earlier.
