Short film on how to load 120-type film roll into a 6x9 Rangefinder Camera from Fujifilm.
Nothing fancy just make shure that you keep the film tension high during loading to avoid overlapping images later on. Since it's a 6x9 camera it only allows 8 Exposures with 120-type film roll instead of the more common 12 from a 6x7 Medium Format Camera.
Love the camera.
From the manual:
Pop out the spool knobs by pressing in the spool knob release buttons
Takeout the empty spool, fit it into the take-upchamber (located on the same side as the film advancelever),then press in the take-up spool knob.
Load the film in the film chamber (located on the same side as the viewfindereyepiece), then press in the film loadingknob.
The take-up spool and film roll can be loaded easier by fitting in the top (camera top) side first.
Avoiding film slack:
To prevent the film from slackening, press down the leader paper near the supply side lightly with your finger so that it won't buckle and wind the film lever firmly.
To prevent the film from becoming loose again when the camera
back is being closed, use the film advance lever to keep the
leader paper taut until you snap the camera back into place.
(I forgot to do that ;)
Thanks for watching and please give it a thumbs up!
