620 Film: How To Use 120 Film in 620 Camera (SUPER QUICK + EASY)
Рет қаралды 5,716
3 жыл бұрынYou don't need to re-spool 120 film to use it in a 620 camera! Turns out, all you need is some tough sandpaper and a toenail clipper. I'll show you how quick and easy it is in this no BS video.
For the least amount of BS, go straight to minute 1:01

Film Photography Project still makes 100iso 620 B&W and color film.

But this is great because options are limited and this is basically the only way to use portra.

Yes exactly! FPP has some awesome films for sure, but your options get a lot wider using this method of modifying 120 spools

You can try using a 120 spool that you have sanded and clipped as a TAKE UP spool too! Some cameras have enough room for that, others don't. You'll have to check.

Yeah that's what I tried the very first few times with a Kodak Reflex ii and it didn't work well. It worked for the first two or three photos, and then it kind of grinded down the inside of the 120 spool and could no longer wind the roll forward.

Oh wow that is easy. I thought you had to respool it to make it work

Thank you! I really need to start using some of the old cameras I collected over the years. Do you have a favorite old camera ?
@imrannuri 3 жыл бұрын
Yes! My favorite old camera is definitely the one in this video. I love my old Kodak Reflex!

If you develop at a lab do you think the lab will have any problems with the sanded down reals.

Most likely they won't have an issue since the actual film is the same size as 120, but it can't hurt to let them know that the roll is sanded down to be 620!

A somewhat less cynical explanation for the 620 format is that these Kodak camera were very basic. Most had fixed shutter speeds (around 1/30 to 1/50) and a single aperture (around f16). They were designed to use 80 to 100 speed film in bright sunlight. Kodak probably didn't want people trying to load up their Brownie Hawkeye with something like Kodchrome 25 and wonder why none of their pictures were coming out.

I have a duaflex 4 and mine as the little red viewfinder on the back but no way to cover it. Do I need to find a way to cover it or can I shoot with it uncovered?
@imrannuri 3 жыл бұрын
That camera was designed without a cover for the red window and you should be okay without covering it! For example with this camera, I took plenty of photos using the red window to make sure I advanced the film to the right position. In opening up the covering 12 times per roll, I never once experienced a light leak

How do you unload the film without exposing it? I just got myself a tlr camera myself and am scared I’ll expose the film
@imrannuri Жыл бұрын
After you finish shooting your 12 photos, you will wind the roll until you hear and feel that the roll seems to be all wound up. Then when you open the back, you'll be able to take the roll out and seal it with the included adhesive tab (for most films, this will be like an envelope where you have to lick it to make it wet before you seal it). Definitely take a look at other videos about unloaded and sealing 120 film to see a visual.
