A) Rollfilm is a wide strip of film backed with a paper backing which is wound onto a spool.
All rollfilm sizes other than 120 (and 220) are effectively out of production although there are sources available for some of them.
First point to note is that unlike 35mm - rollfilm is not rewound at the end.

  Roll film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rollfilm or roll film is any type of photographic film which is wound on a spool with paper backing, as opposed to film which is wound in a cartridge.
A spool of rollfilm is usually loaded on one side of the camera and pulled across to an identical takeup spool on the other side of the shutter as pictures are taken.
Rollfilm remained the format of choice for inexpensive snapshot cameras until the 1950s, the most common sizes being 127 and 828 (small format) and 120 and 116 (medium format).

 Evaluating Your Needs for Larger Formats
There are a large number of 120 rollfilm adapters that can be used with 4 x 5 film backs and many large format photographers use Polaroid backs as aids for composition and exposure and even as final film material.
Both 120 rollfilm and 4 x 5 sheetfilm are available in a wide choice of emulsions.
Rollfilm adapters have been and are made by many different manufacturers.

 Rollfilm
Rollfilme sind mit einem Stück Klebeband am Schutzpapier befestigt:
Beim Einspulen des Films in die Spirale der Entwicklungsdose sollte dieses Klebeband vom Film entfernt werden, damit es sich in der Flüssigkeit und den Entwicklungs-Chemikalien nicht auflöst und den Film zerstört.
Die Mechanolumineszenz hat nichts mit elektrostatisch erzeugten Funken zu tun.

 Ron Herron's Kodak Camera Page
The Jiffy Kodak Six-20 camera (left, c.1933-37) was part of a series of inexpensive and popular Kodak rollfilm cameras, with a pop-out front and twin spring struts.
The Kodak Monitor cameras (c.1939-48), like a great many of the early Kodak folders, were folding rollfilm cameras that were available in the two predominant rollfim sizes, which were for either 616 or 620 film.
Using rotating-disk aperture stops to provide three unmarked aperture settings, it has a rotary disk shutter with only two speeds: bulb (exposing for as long as the shutter release is held), or instant, which seems to be approximately 1/60 sec in duration.

 HowTo: Using a Polaroid Rollfilm Camera
For one thing, every so often, I get email from someone who just bought an old Polaroid rollfilm camera that still had some film left in it (or came with an unused box of film), and was interested in trying to use it just to see if it could still produce usable images.
Okay, if you're going to load up a Polaroid rollfilm camera for the first time, chances are that it'll be the first time it's been used for decades.
Whenever I've used a Polaroid rollfilm camera in public, people always expect that 'tab' to be the actual picture that was taken, and, of course, want to see it.

 120 Rollfilm Slitter
A trough exactly like the one used to slit film, but the width of the backing paper, helps to keep the paper and film aligned during the winding process.
I use the insert from a Graflex Rollfilm Back as a winder, positioned so, when the paper is partially wound and ready for the insertion of the film, the paper end is 1270 mm from the spool.
If the paper is wound tightly, the film may be "inserted", pressed under the roller between the already wound and the unwound paper.

 No.3 Combination Hawk-Eye   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Combination Hawk-Eye is similar to the better known No.4 Screen Focus Kodak in which the rollfilm back hinges up for composing and focusing an image on a ground glass carrier.
In addition, the rollfilm back could be completely removed and the camera used exclusively with glass plates.
Although primarily rollfilm cameras, they could convert to dry-plates midway through a roll of film or use the ground glass as a rollfilm focusing aid without having to swap backs (or external rollfilm carriers).

 First Rollfilm Kodak Camera
These original models were the first to use rollfilm, and are highly collectible, often bringing prices of $2,500-3,000+.
A replica on the centennial (1988) are non-working but more often seen, and sell for about a tenth of the real original's prices.
My main interest in providing this page is to highlight the first and rather modest camera to use rollfilm, which provided the basis for medium format photography as we know it today.

 Photo Shopper BUYING CLASSIC CAMERAS II by David Silver
While folding rollfilm cameras were ascending to their position of dominance in the amateur markets of the 1930's, the "twin lens reflex" or TLR style of #120 camera was becoming a favorite of the professional photographic world.
While never as light or portable as the folding rollfilm cameras, they were normally very rugged, usually well equipped with top quality lenses and shutters, and provided the best viewing and focusing compromise for ideal artistic composition.
This workhorse TLR, using #120 rollfilm to make typical 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch square exposures, was actually manufactured by another firm known as Ciro, wore a relatively sharp Graftar 85mm f3.5 lens, and was powered by a Century Synchromatic shutter from Wollensak.

They are expensive, but it's only relative - compare the price to a sinar varioback or a new Mamiya RZ RFH and you'll think that the horeseman is a bargain...good shooting.

Is rollfilm 220 better than 120 in terms of film flatness?
But two things can be stated already as hints to enable sharper photos with medium format cameras at wide open apertures, since exactly those are invited by the high level of aberration correction in Zeiss lenses:
220 type rollfilm usually offers better flatness than 120 type by a factor of almost 2.

 Source of pincushion distortion with 6x12 rollfilm back? - Large Format Photography Forum
I wish I could be more scientific about my observation s, but I didn't get a chance to do side-by-side comparisons between the 6x12 bac k and 4x5 sheets before I sold the Horseman back (and the two lenses I used it) with as part of a package deal.
Because I used the Horseman 6x12 rollfilm back with only two lenses and didn't d o a full test, I was unable to tell whether the pincushion distortion was caused by film curl in the film back or by the lenses I was using on the Cambo Wide (4 7XL and 75SA).
I've seen unacceptable pincushion distortion even when shooting sheet film (8x10) with expensive modern LF lenses, so I would have assumed that the problem was with the lenses if no one else questioned the film flatness of 120 rollfilm.

 The Land List -- Rollfilm Camera Timeline (1948-1964)
The following timeline is definitely simplified in scope, but should help illustrate the basic 'evolution' of Polaroid rollfilm camera models.
Camera models which were replaced with new, equivalent, models are listed in a directly vertical fashion, whereas models which borrow basic body construction or other interchangable parts (but have different features) are connected to 'parent' cameras by branches to the side.
Also, although the Swinger 20 is technically a rollfilm camera, I have chosen to omit that model from the rollfilm timeline and include it on the packfilm timeline instead, as the basic construction of that camera is related more closely to the packfilm models.

The No. 3 took 3¼ x 4¼ inch exposures on Eastman celluloid rollfilm, which had to be loaded and unloaded in a darkroom.
Usually, the camera was sold with a rollfilm back, essentially a modified Eastman-Walker holder (picture below), but it could also be purchased with a plate back.
There was no ground glass on the rollfilm model, so the photographer had to rely upon engraved distance marks on the focus dial.
