Question for those who roll their own 110 cartridges or use 16mm for stills

I like using my Minolta 110 Zoom Mk II but the Lomo Orca film is a bit underwhelming in some aspects with the paper being a bit thin(light spots unless you tape up the window) and my camera is capable of making a negative a lot bigger than the mask they put on the film by several millimeters all around. Does 16mm movie film have a similar mask boxing in the negative size? Curious because it would be nice to utilize the larger negative my camera can make and I think Lomography's mask is sometimes screwed up making the negative even smaller.

No, motion picture film has no built in mask. I have used 16 mm single perforated film many times in the Minolta 16 cameras with great success. Unperforated 16 mm microfilm is also available.

I believe that the Minolta Mark ii camera needs actual 110 film. This is because the holes in the film are needed to cock the shutter. ---john.
