NFL shoots something like a million feet a year.... someone will probably
chime in with the exact number of feet (Jeff?). That's close to the
average Wiseman film. NFL has their own lab too! I think NFL (Steve Sabol)
and network television are keeping 16mm alive, super 16 that is.
Though Bolex is still in business, they are now promoting there new
telecine for old home movies...http://www.bolex-digital.ch.

probably the first real professional 16mm cameras, and remained in use
through the 70s (lots of football shooters loved the quick-change
magazines).
