Default 220 film

I have been given some old film Fujifilm NHG 2 800, NP H400 in 120 and some 100F provia in 220. Would it be possible to use the 220 in the zero 2000 pinhole which takes 6x6. I do not know what the difference is between 120 and 220.

220 (x24 frames) is double the length of 120 (x12 frames)

Considering how tight the normal 120 rolls are in the Zero 2000 I think the 220's might be a bridge too far. Have never tried it though so can't be 100%... why don't you try it?

Mark,
sorry but the 220 film will not work in your pinhole camera, the 220 film is twice the length of 120, giving 24 6x6 images but it has non backing paper like 120, just a length of paper at the start and end of the film for loading and unloading, but te film is just that, film, so you have no frame numbers Etc on the back, and cannot be used in any red window camera, you need 220 backs on something like a bronica.

Excellent chance that someone here has a 220 back and likes Provia. Might be worth offering it if you cannot think of a use for it

I'd gladly take a bit of 220 Provia off your hands if you decide to get rid.
