Most 120 cameras have a system of rollers that the film passes over before and after the film gate. It should then have a degree of tension as it lies across the gate. The 120 film pressure plate will probably not contact the back of the film as it will have been sized to suit the thickness of the 120 film plus its backing paper. The difference, however, is not very much. A piece of smooth card attached to the pressure plate of a folder would do. The Rollei TLRs have the adjustable pressure plate built-in, so easy to use one of them, even without the special kit. When winding on in a folder or TLR, you are probably stuck with the length of film that passes before the shutter interlock stops further winding. With non-interlock cameras that rely on the red windows, you’re probably using guesswork.
