looking for 127 backing paper

[bergytone]

I would like to start using a few of my various 127 cameras, and I want to slit 120 film and spool it onto my 127 spools. Does anyone have any spare 127 backing paper that they could part with? I know I can cut down 120 roll paper, but the numbers would be all wrong. Just thought maybe one of you folks might have some extra laying around. PM me if you do.. I'll pay the postage and for your time...

Interesting. I am also contemplating using this little Baby Brownie I have recently acquired. I'm not sure about your situation, but the center numbers on 120 backing paper line up perfectly for each frame on this camera. The camera frame is exactly 61.5mm wide, and the numbers on the paper are 64mm apart. That is, using the paper from Arista.edu 120 film.

I can probably unearth you at least one, can't imagine postage from the UK will be that much, though I'm still unpacking after a house move. I might even have a couple of unused rolls of Efke still, though the film has got spoiled somewhere.

However, have you seen this?

I've only shot one roll and haven't developed it yet, but I am told the Rerapan dries beautifully flat, unlike the awful Efke curl.

ETA - I've found two without actually looking. If you still want them in light of the above, let me know.

I also slit down 120 roll film and backing for my 127's and the numbers work fine

trimming 120 to 127

OptiKen, do you leave the cut down 120 roll at full lenght or do you trim excess paper from the top or bottom ends?

I have a roll of C-22 kodacolor that came with a Kodak bullet. I might try to soup that roll and see what happens. But I'd still like to find some spares.
I know some old rolls turn up on ebay, but by the time you pay the rediculous postage I might as well buy a new roll from the FPP.

Adrian: I just PM'd you regarding the ones you found.
