maybe the easiest way would be to hack a 35mm back from a Diana F+ roll film camera. you have everything you need: it attaches to a 120 film wind, it has a rewind and it stops the wind automatically. you have a choice of 4 formats, 2 of them including the sprockets. have a look at my website http://www.plastikcam.com/diana_accessories.htm to see how it looks like.
I have a Welta Reflekta 6x6 from the late 60s which has such a device, but it's complicated to handle and has no rewind, the wind is pure estimation and it's vertical. so it's pretty useless except the fun of a challenge...
Great images! The sprocket holes add an interesting element.
or in RZ67 or even in the Queen herself SL66SEYou are missing the point. We want to play around with 35mm film in a Hasselblad not a Diana.
no, I'm not missing the point. I said "hack a 35mm back from a Diana". not using a diana. that's quite a difference...You are missing the point. We want to play around with 35mm film in a Hasselblad not a Diana.

And then epoxy the Diana to the body of a Hasselblad, Rollei or RB67?
Yeah, there's no practical use for it really, it's no more economical than using 120 film and cropping it, it's just something daft to try.
I'm not too sure it's remotely close to economical here in Vancouver , 35mm Kodak B&W film is $14.99 per roll !
Yes you read that price correctly . Cheers , Peter
As a person that had a Mamiya Pro TL land in his lap, I'm really curious about using these adapters with 35mm film. I have uses camera yet and I'm still trying to figure out the ins and outs of it. Has anybody used the adapters in I'm here yet? My big question is how to meet her at the film wind so you don't overlap. I do like the idea of hacking the Diana unit to a camera like this although I thought that the HC 401 back could be hacked to do Panorama. And we, I hope I hear from back from someone that's helpful not telling me that I shouldn't bother because of blah blah blah... Thanks guys
That is the Exakta way.It may be possible to use a standard cassette upside down on the take up side. Losing film on both ends then.
The 35mm back does not, however, give you anything more than a 24mm x 36mm frame. I understand the desire for more of a panoramic option. The orientation of Mamiya 645 backs and inserts would, of course limit you to at best an image area of 24mm x 45mm .Mamiya made a 35mm film back for the Mamiya 645 Pro TL body, this would work better than any DIY project. They are usually available on EBay.
