Very nice depth of field. I like how the image goes around the sprocket holes. Are you using the standard 120 film back and taping the 35mm film in?

Thanks. I'm a big fan of very selective focus whenever feasible. To do this I actually have modified a spare takeup reel so that I can load the 35mm can in the same location as the 220 film in a 220 back. I use the 220 back to get about 15 or 16 shots per roll as opposed to only 10 with a 120. I tape a leader of 120 backing paper to the 35mm film to start it winding on the takeup real in the proper position. This way I can shoot as normal, but I do need to rewind the film in a darkbag by flipping the spindle for the takeup and then rewinding the canister by hand. Here's what I did to fit the 35mm can in place:

There are easier ways to do it like using foam blocks to hold the can, but I figured this would be the most stable and long lasting way.

That is so cool!!!!!! I would never think about that. I'm so inside the box I'm probably suffocating.
