if you aren't hand holding your field camera, perhaps you aren't ready for it

I never tried the wood handle on my p67 because it's a big SLR why wouldn't you just hold it like a reg SLR and use your left hand as support? Nope better grab this idiot handle and make my expensive negative machine less stable. Also shutter priority is stupid.

The wood handle is useful for carrying the camera when you aren't using it. For me, it gets in the way when I am using it.

Just get a GW690, it's got two exposure buttons, on the front and one on the winder, and takes no batteries

It also lets you shoot short rolls of 120

Full disclosure: it's a buck a frame, developed cost. You come across as a massive oval office to be honest. pro tip: post some photos before you start being condescending to others

Gotta love CZJ Sonnar 180/2.8 I think I prefer Portra 400 to 160 though.

Us in a motel room Times Square Midtown NYC Unsure if these were shot correctly. Worried my MF Credentials will be revoked and my cameras repossessed. All I can do is wait I guess. Awkward Davies fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Jan 20, 2018 |

Has anyone here sanded down a 120 spool to fit into a 620 camera or rerolled? My father has a first gen Kodak Medalist that I have been dying to put some film through, but they havent made 620 since 85. And despite years in handling film, I have never re rolled any onto a different spool. Sanding/filing seems like it would be the easier process. I am aware I can buy prespooled film and that is a better choice for this job specifically. But I am looking for options for disaster recovery and if I fall in love with shooting the monster. The reason being is that I have a possible job coming up that requires specific shots on film (some landscapes, some portraits, NDA and all). There is a professional digital photographer for the shoot, he was the one who got me involved, so I only have to focus on the couple dozen film shoots. My gear currently is a Mamiya C330 (55mm and 80mm lenses), a Mamiya C220 (backup), a Baby Pacemaker 23 (2x3 620 camera that spools from standard 120 roll with 47mm and 101mm), a Pacemaker Crown Graphic (4x5 with 125mm and 75mm), a Widelux 1500 (recently CLAed). So I do not need to take the Medalist but it is considered one of the best 6x9 cameras ever made.

After some quick research, apparently even if you shave a 120 spool to fit, it's actually the narrow diameter of the 620 spool shaft that is most critical as it determines the frame spacing. So you might end up with a bunch of overlapped frames. Or frames that are spaced too far apart?

I've done this plenty of times with Brownie cameras. Just buy a couple 620 spools on eBay, and use a changing bag. It's super, super simple, honestly easier than loading a developing reel. Here's the guide I used.

I am aware I can buy prespooled film and that is a better choice for this job specifically. But I am looking for options for disaster recovery and if I fall in love with shooting the monster. This page says that the spool thickness matters, which makes sanding a dicey operation. You can use a 620 spool for takeup with a sanded-down 120 feed roll, though, and if you need one or two I think I have a couple I can give away. I think they wind up spaced too far apart and the last exposure goes off the roll. Respooling is easy. Start by loading a 120 camera, and instead of shooting, just wind all the way to the end. Then flip the new spool back to the feeding side, and - do this part in a dark bag or darkroom - hand-start the 620 spool for take-up, making sure to pick up the untaped end of the film. Once you've done that and gotten one or two turns, you can put the 620 roll in the camera's take-up position, close it up, and wind it the rest of the way. Some 120 cameras won't accept 620, so in that case you can just use the feed position to provide tension while you finish spooling. It doesn't take long.

Genius, I never thought about winding it through a 120 camera all the way. Respooling it is. Thanks folks.

Film for Classics also manufactures and sells pre-spooled 620 film so you can just purchase and load without any sanding or respooling necessary.

I am aware, the issue I was foreseeing was being in rural nowhere and having something happen to the film. I can get 120 locally, though not cheaply, so having the ability to create new 620 film is the only way I can justify taking the camera with me for a job.

Can we talk gear for a second? I've picked up some 4x5 film holders to start my irresponsible decent into large format photography and picked up this nifty little doodad along with. a 6 shot 4x5 magazine! This thing is pretty robust. I figure if I don't get myself a 4x5 camera by years end, I'll just sell it. Lord knows i have enough cameras as is.
