I did think that a 220 back would be more akin to 35mm film and I always have film in my 120 film back ,and 220 backs are so much cheaper ,so are great to muck about with . Dave great shots ,on your site ,what happens when you get to the end of the 35mm roll does it rip or jam or just stop .

Now, that's an idea. Thanks to Dave for the link to the examples (By the way, really nice image for WPPD this year, Dave). Do I understand correctly that the negative size is then 24x60mm? That would make for nice panos.

I think it's a great idea to put 35mm film through a 120 or 220 back and I REALLY like the sprocket holes on the prints! I'm sure some would add them digitally, but it's great to know that they were done 'in camera' and I think that they really add something to the right picture - a bit like how black film rebate does similar on b/w prints, with the right print of course.

Thank you Terry, that’s very kind of you. I like variety plus my grandsons think they are “cool”

Yes. Although if you are happy to include the sprocket holes you’ve got an effective height of 35mm.

Thank for the thumbs up for the WPPD Image. Not what I’d planned but it still worked!

Thanks

I always wind on carefully and stop when I feel the first resistance. The film back then goes into a changing bag and I load the film straight onto a reel and into a developing tank where it sits until I get around to developing it. The number of shots I get depends on whether or not I add some 120 roll paper as a leader and also on the camera I’m using.

I got my 220 film back ,I am a bit worried about using it with 35mm film ,its for my Rolleiflex 6003 and I am a bit worried about it damaging the camera when it gets to the end of the roll ,anyway not to worrie ,I have looked at my 120 back and compared it to the 220 back the only difference other than the film counter going up to 24 ,there is a small difference in space between the back of the camera and the pressure plate ,so I stuck four pieces of paper one in each corner where the pressure plate touches the back of the camera making the pressure plate slightly further away from the camera back ,and stuck a roll of 120 film in it ,and took some photos ,they are hanging up to dry so will look to see if the focus is ok ,the good thing is I got a half extra neg out of it ,and at the end of the roll it was all rolled up nice, not tight or loose but just right . this film back cost a quarter of the price of a 120 back ..
