is it possible to shoot 120 rolls with a 220 back?
since it seems to me that used a24 magazines for v-hassies are cheaper
than a12, i was wondering if one could shoot 120 rolls using a24 backs. i still don't own an hasselblad and i've never seen an a24 back: this is why i was wonderind if i could save some money buying a couple of a24 backs instead of the more expensive a12 ones. i understand that a24 perhaps should be more expensive, but probably there's more market for a12 and average price for the latters are usually higher --here in italy--. thanks in advance for your help. regards, -- Gianni Rondinini (30, tanti, RA) Nikon user - Bmw driver http://bugbarbeq.deviantart.com |

Nope. 220 film doesn't have the paper backing for the full length of the roll. 120 film is too thick to go through. |

Nope. An emphatic "nope" to your "nope"! ;-) 220 film doesn't have the paper backing for the full length of the roll. 120 film is too thick to go through. The backing paper will make the film thicker. But not too thick at all. Spacing will be wide, and you will only get 11 frames on a roll. But that's all. So yes, you certainly *can* run 120 film through 220 backs. |
