Step by step loading 120 film in a 116 camera. I'll be using my Kodak Rainbow Hawk-Ey No. 2A Folding Model B Camera to demonstrate loading the film. 116 film isn't made anymore, but 120 film is and there is a simple trick to fit it inside your 116 Camera.

116 was introduced by Kodak in 1899 not 1930’s and was actually one of the very first roll films Kodak produced. There are a couple of places that spool 116 film but it’s expensive. I use the No. 2 Kodak which takes 120.

Be extra careful with the red window in the back! I tried this method with my 1913 Kodak 1a but had a huge light leak caused by the window. Since 120 film does not cover the window it will let a lot of light in compared to using a 120 camera. It's best to count turns or advance the film in low light to prevent this issue.

I have my dad’s Kodak Vigilant 616 camera. The camera is in excellent condition. Needs a shutter lubrication. Absolutely fantastic lens. A joy to photograph landscapes with when I was younger.

Super helpful video! When cleaning my Kodak No1a I put some dry lube on the rails so that when pulling the lens out, it doesn’t shake a bunch. Works surprisingly well!

Last Friday I was at a garage sale and the guy gave me a giant box full of these old 116 bellows cameras. They were all dirty and maybe even some mold. After seeing your video I'm tempted to see if one will actually work. Thanks

116 film is still made and sold by Blue Moon Camera, Central Camera, Film Photography Project. Mike Rasso hand rolls color film for the Film Photography Project and the other two companies use Ilford FP4 hand rolled by Film For Classics.

I have the exact same camera in blue !! Got a couple pinhole leaks in the bellows but gorgeous condition apart from that. Got it for six dollars !! I’ll be grabbing some adapters and 120 soon so I can take gorgeous and dramatic photos of my very mundane favorite places haha. Thanks for the tips

Nice video. Just a comment: 116 format is much older than the 1930's. I believe it is from 1899 or so. Currently working to shoot 120 in a 116 format Brownie from 1919.

@LittleKodaks 2 жыл бұрын

You are correct. I must have confused the camera with the film. Good luck shooting! Thanks for watching.

Perfect tutorial. I just purchased a model 1A with the "Autographic" feature. Bought adapters from ebay, and had to shim like you did. Curious if you shot with the camera, and if so, if you had any issues with the film curling as it's a bit smaller than the gate. Thanks!

This vid helped me more than any other. Question: Do all manufacturers of 120 film put the same markings on the back? Like the 1/4 & 1/2 mark's etc?

@LittleKodaks Жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm not really sure, but I think they do so they can be used in different cameras. They try to make then Universal since each camera manufacturer put the peep holes in different places on their cameras.

Hi - I'm looking for adapters to use modern film in the Kodak No. 1 camera - manufactured in 1927 - which used A 120 film. Please let me know if you can assist. Thanks!

@LittleKodaks 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, you should be able to purchase 120 Film to use inside your camera. They don't make any Autographic Film anymore. That's what the "A" stands for in the film type. 120 however is still manufactured to this day. You'll have to mail off the film to be developed unless you are lucky enough to live near a film developer.

How do you take the film out of the camera?

@LittleKodaks 2 жыл бұрын

You’ll want to get into a dark room and wind it back onto your 120 film spool. You could always use another set of adapters and have it wind onto a 120 spool. The spools are designed to make a light seal around the edges. Pop them into a film canister or wrap them in foil to keep out any light before you get the shots developed. Thanks for watching!

Hi, you're not going to find the 116 film as it's not made anymore. That's why I posted this video about how to use 120 film in these cameras. 120 film is still available to purchase. 116 film hasn't been around since the 1980's.
