	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 120 film
		The 220 format was introduced in 1965 and is the same width as 120 film, but with double length (144 cm) film and thus twice the number of exposures per roll.
		Also, since the film alone is thinner than a film with a backing paper, depending on camera type a special pressure plate may be required to achieve optimal focus.
		The 620 format was discontinued by Kodak in 1995, but it is possible to re-wind 120 film onto a 620 spool in the darkroom to enable use of 620 cameras.

	120 Rollfilm Slitter
		In the case of the 70mm infrared film, the space between the holes is less than the standard 120 width.
		I always spool the film with the remaining sprocket holes in the same direction so I know which part of the image is being impacted when in the camera.
		Since the combination is wound from the loose (un-taped) end, and the film tends to "crawl" as it is wound over an increasing diameter on the spool, the problem is to get the film taped to the backing paper in exactly the right place.

	120 film - Definition, explanation
		120 is a film format for still photography introduced by Kodak for their Brownie No. 2 in 1901, and still very popular, as the surviving medium format.
		This results in a longer film on the same spool, but as a result, there are no printed frame numbers, and moreover, it cannot be used in unmodified old cameras that have the red window as frame indicator.
		620 film was discontinued in 1995, but some photographers respool 120 film on 620 bobbin in the darkroom to use their 620 cameras.

		The difference between 120 and 220 film was that 220 was twice as long and therefore holds twice as many images as 120.
		Kodak stopped manufacturing the 620 film in the 1990s but 120 film can be used in a 620 camera because it is the same size film.
		The film is identical, so all that needs to be done is the 120 film can be wound onto a 620 spool.

		Both 120 and 220 film are 60 mm wide, mounted on identical reels, and start with a paper leader which is cut to fit onto the takeup reel.
		Once in darkness, the film should be rolled onto the takeup reel until the end of the film is encountered.
		This completes the procedure and the film is ready to load into the camera, or it may be stored refrigerated in an airtight container such as a zip lock bag (with as much air removed as possible).

	120in620
		Getting the film rewound onto the 620 spool and repositioning the tape holding the paper backing to the film under those conditions seems to require a bit more dexterity than I was born with.
		Kodak 120 film spools are made of plastic that is tough, but not brittle.
		In handling the film roll during the trimming process, it is probably a good idea to avoid gripping the roll too tightly which might deform the roll of film slightly and cause light leaks along the borders of the film.

	Using 120 film in Highlander/J33 cameras
		Keep in mind that, as with the other "alternate film" techniques described on this site, this is really intended for the photographic hobbyist who merely wants to try to take a picture or two with his or her old camera rather than as a serious everyday solution to the problem of a non-existent film supply.
		With the end of the film at the point where it is just on the take-up spool, place the take-up spool in the well to the right of the film plane, and place the source spool in the film well at the left of the film plane.
		120 film is slightly narrower than the film designed for your camera, so you may find that your images are slightly crooked and/or bleed into the frame numbers along the edge of the film.

		Although both 120 and 620 film are the same width (62mm) they differ only in their spool dimensions and connection to the camera.
		620 film spools have a narrow center spool (7mm), the ends are flat (.11mm) and the overall diameter is small (22.5mm).
		120 film has a larger center spool (11.5mm), the ends are thicker (1.5mm) and the overall diameter is larger (25mm).

	MAKING HAPPY \| one human life
		Six-16 film is pretty near impossible to find and when you do the developing cost is high and probably not worth the expense.
		The opening at the ends of 120 spools are much larger than those of 620 or 616 spools.
		As a result the end of the winder thingy doesn't fit snuggly into the end of the 120 spool and you can't wind the film.

	My Cameras
		Because 120 film is readily available at better camera stores and by mail order, you can use 120 film in your 620 cameras by using one of the following methods.
		Carefully attach the leader of the fresh roll of 120 film to a spare 620 spool and slowly wind it from the 120 spool to the temporary spool.
		The light sensitive film is attached to the paper backing on one end only so the first pass will not cause a problem with the difference in diameter of the 120 and 620 spools..

	620 film respooling, Kodak 620 film
		Reduce the size of the 120 spool: if you are careful to blow away debris, does not expose the film to dust or handling problems; it is covered in the Tips and Links section.
		Contemporary 120 film, in all its emulsive variety, is relatively easy to respool onto 620 spools in a darkroom or changing bag.
		If you have a camera that accepts both 620 and 120 film, you may be able use it for both winding operations and skip the rest of this explanation.

		The thickness of 120 backing paper is enough to place the film in front of the plane of focus.
		The Rollie's mechanism is primarily a set of springs and would be less prone to damage unless you left the 120 film in it through temperature extremes and for several days.

	120 Film Spacers
		You'll need to keep your film to the right side of the box with the spacer on the left,(looking down at the camera with the lens pointed away from you), repeating this step on the botom of the camera for the take up spool will allow the film winder to engage the roll.
		Another step would be to cover the film counter on the back with fl electrical tape, this is because with your film pushed to the right - light will be able to go through that window.
		The last couple of exposures do not take as many turns because there will be more film on the take up spool that you are turning with the film advance, but I normally stick with the 2 turns.

	Respooling 120 film onto 620 spools
		The two biggest problems you'll encounter are finding film for it and getting the film processed once you've exposed a roll.Some of the older cameras take 120 film which is readily available in camera stores that serve professionals as a large segment of their clientele.
		If the 120 film is loaded directly onto a 620 camera, this may cause the spool to lean sideways and jam, or it may cause the film not to wind correctly in some cameras.
		This causes a mismatch in winding that appears as a hump in the film.

	620/120 Film
		Terry Rolling 120 Film Onto a 620 Spindle by Al Thompson All of the on-line instructions I've seen for rolling 120 onto 620 spindles are techniques for doing it the hard way.
		After a short length of paper is wound onto the spool the gummed tab for taping the exposed film roll presents itself and I keep rolling, letting it stay where it is. After a few more inches of rolling, the loose end of the film will present itself.
		I also find that Fuji and Ilford films are easier to rewind than Kodak because their paper doesn't tend to crinkle as easily or tend to ride up and over the spool ends.

	Thoughts About Photography: Agfa Chief 120 Film Conversion
		I thought it was 620 film at first, but after a little research I learned that 620 film is slightly smaller than a 120 spool.
		In order to let the Agfa Chief accept 120 film we need to fill the gap between the bottom of the spool and where it connects to the bottom of the film holder.
		The opening is a bit too large for 120 film and as a result the bottom edge of the film won’t have any support unless we add a guide to the bottom.

	Film format information - Search.com
		A film format is a technical definition of a set of standard characteristics regarding the image capture and projection of a film.
		These characteristics usually include the film gauge, pulldown method, lens anamorphosis (or lack thereof), and film gate or projector aperture dimensions, all of which need to be defined for photography as well as projection, as they may differ.
		The film format would thus be exactly the same as the size of the print -- so if you wanted large prints, you would have to use a large camera and corresponding film format.

	Eric Praetzel - Medium Format Cameras
		This film is 6cm (2.25") wide, does not have sprocket holes and came from an early 1930's standard for the Rollei cameras.
		The film is rolled with a layer of paper and the paper has numbers on it so that you can see what frame you are on (thru a red circular hole in the back of the camera).
		The "120" film used by this camera is still readily available as "professional" film for wedding photographers.

	Adapt-A-Roll 620 Holders
		The film chamber, which holds feed and take-up spools, is at one end of the device.
		What works for some is the following: thread the 120 film paper backing through the holder and to the takeup spool, close the holder, and advance the backing until the adhesive tape at the head of the film just enters the gate.
		Then insert the dark slide, set the frame counter to the fl outer S mark, advance the film one and one quarter frame (5 clicks, until the inner red scale indicates 1), and the holder is ready for shooting.
