It takes 13 clicks to advance one frame leaving a small, less than one tooth spacing, gap between images. You get the maximum number of images with no overlap that way.

The bit with the plastic clicking tooth is brilliant. I've modified a Brownie Target 620 to hold 35mm, and shot one roll with it. It works, but I had to guess at the winding so a fair amount got wasted in between the pictures. A tip of my own for you: if you tape a paper leader onto the film you won't lose so much when you're loading in the spool, unless you normally do that in the dark.

All of the photos were spoiled because of the tape I put over the window. I put a link to some examples in the description for you.

I just found my Brownie Hawkeye in the garage and can't wait to try it out with 35mm film. Thank you SO much for this video. Answered everything I needed. 👍👍📸

That little clicky thing's a brilliant idea!! :-) Love it and thank you.

I made a jig for spooling 35mm film onto the backing paper from medium format rolls so that I can load it onto 127, 620 and 120 spools. This way I don't have to modify my cameras at all. I've considered making the plans available for anyone that wants to make their own. But it'd involve access to a laser cutter.

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you for explaining and showing how to load and rewind the canister. ❤ I have not been able to find a video that did both soo clearly.

Very interesting! Thank you,

I Have a few Hawkeye and I've always wanted to use them. This is a great idea.

This is ingenious .! Good work salute!

Thanks for the great video.

Great explanation, thanks for shearing!

Great information. I just bought one of those cameras and will give it a try after flipping the lens

The clicking tooth IS Ingenious! I will use this hack in my wooden pinhole! And, I'll try your 35mm hack in my Hawkeye. Thanks

Interesting, I never thought to try that. I'll give it a shot.

What an ingenious little idea, that clicker!

I set them up in front of a white background with a 500w light illuminating it evenly then shot photos of the negatives with my Sony NEX-VG20 camera. Changing from film negative to positive takes a lot of work but its easy to repeat.

Thanks for sharing!! I have a Brownie and this 35mm project looks like fun..

This is genius thank you

Very clear presentation and very useful, thanks.

amazing.

thanks super helpful, would love to see what you made with this

Awesome-Thanks!

I have a 35 mm Pinhole camera that has a similar frame counting system. It is effective!

Ahh, I never thought of the leader, thank you.

How many ticks does it take to advance to the next frame? This is an ingenious idea by the way! The idea of making a piece that counts each sprocket is awesome.

Question: did you have the lab scan your photos or did the print them out for you? The flicker photos, where they scanned by your Sony camera? Did you have to do any editing or the photos came out just like in the flicker photos? thanks.

i love my hawkeye

I don't know if you mentioned this in the video or not, but how many exposures are you able to get out of a roll on average?

Thank you for this video. It explained 2 troubles I had to cope with my East German Perfekta box-camera

Thanks

YOU. ARE. A. LIFESAVER.

So Vintage!

I thought I would try this, and have come to the end of my 35mm cartridge. The film won't progress, the winding key won't lift and release, and so my camera (a Six-20) won't open. Would you have any suggestions? Thanks!

If the shutter speed for the camera is 1/40 and the f stop is 16 what iso film did you use for the outside shot? I would imagine something like 100 or even 400 wouldn't work properly

I did some small editing to one of those pics with a couple of freeware photos apps. I was looking for one with the RGB. The REDEYE removal did wonders to. You CAN save some/all of those photos for sentimental and educational reasons. Luckily they are not really ruined. Its just spectrums that are off. Give it a try! I suck at these apps and did good.

Cool. Can you make a video of that process? Thanks.

when you shoot, are you assuming that situation will be around proper exposure or are you metering and deciding whether or not to take the image?

Got one of this but having trouble opening it and and got it for $25 bucks and wondering if I’ve did good and if the back can’t come off can I’ve used it as a photo prop when I’m photoshooting with people? -Retro:Scott Fox Ps. The back of the camera wouldn’t open up.. saw what should I’ve do then?

Would you recommend this method over the method of useing no.120 film Were you use a nail clipper to make the spools smaller making it fit perfectly in the camera

thank you for this advices! but i tried to put a 35mm canistre inside, but could not close the box- what is the trick??

I cannot put the cover & close, circumference of the cassette's edges are a liitle too big. I have the same Hawkeye model as yours. Thanks for sharing.

Would this be able to work with the brownie hawkeye camera? Instead of the flash?

My plastic little thing didn't work, do you know how many turn of the button i have to do for pass the 13 holes ? Thanks so much !

this video was really usrful, I collect brownie cameras and really need more info like this for my other brownies, could you do videos like this with cameras such as the brownie no. 2

what happens when the film is finished, does it just not turn anymore or do you not know

Damn. My Hawkeye flash (October 1952) won’t close with a 35mm canister in there

My sister and I had cameras like these. The lens was so terrible that there was always blurring around the edges of the photos

Really!? NO Photo Samples.. I was REALLY looking forward to seeing how this worked out in all reality.

F22 by the way

35 mm film on a larger film camera? ...instead of 120/160 film? WHY?

No sample images!

This is pretty much witchcraft to me. Ha

My only question is: WHY BOTHER????? Just get yourself a Kodak "Pony 35". It's as basic a 35mm camera as you can get! Unless your taking "Pin Hole" exposures in an oatmeal box!
