Hi there;

Last night as I was going through YouTube, I came across this video, in which a Hasselblad 6
x6cm back was converted through the insertion of a mask, to give the same format of the Xpan.

Unlike a 35 mm back adaption, this make horizontal images, so putting the camera on its side is no involved, unless you Want a tall, narrow format.

The girl in the video is claiming many more exposures can be made on 120 this way, than the 12 on an A12 6x6cm, by a partial take-up of the film, by-way-of the back's winder.

Has anyone here tried this or similar?

I am curious as to the process of making a mask for an A24 back and the winding steps, etc.

Any discussion would be helpful, as well as links, etc.

Be Safe, Be Happy, and Godspeed to all.
