Double-8 should be what you want. The spool has an excess over 50' finished length, so the amount that is fogged from loading the film when processed and cut off, then slit and spliced end-to-end at the lab still gives you 50' of useable film. You do know that after you shoot one time thru the reel you have to turn the film reel over end-to-end and re-thread to get the total length of shooting the roll can do. The lab processes, slits and splices the film into one 50' reel. The actual length of the 8mm perforated 16mm wide film is a little over 25'.
