Not much of a PSA if you do not supply any info.......I never bought these because people were charging $20 for something so small, printed with FREE plans available online. Well, this is a PSA that someone is selling these for $3.50 plus $3.50 shipping right now, if you want to pick them up at the auction site. I did.
I made some adapters myself shaving down some 120 spools and it worked fine in my RB back - but the RB back is automatic and does not use a window. I'm not sure how you would use it in an old folder or anything that uses windows - though you may just pay attention to how many turns it takes your normal 120 film to advance and guess long. I expect it to work fine in my Hasselblad back.Looks neat. Will this work with any 120 camera? I ask because I take it you place both ends on the 35mm cassette and the ends are exactly the same size as the 120 spool ends so the camera "thinks" it a 120 spool in it but will there be a problem with the more sophisticated 120 cameras like the 645N which sets the distance it makes the film travel for each frame and then rewinds at 16 frames?
It may be that the adaptor only works with fully manual 120 cameras like the old folders but with those how do you tell when you have wound on to the next frame? The window is set for 120 backing paper only
I may have made several wrong assumptions here and I am looking to be educated so I'd be grateful for a "lesson " in how this adaptor works
Thanks

Yes, but I had not seen them below $20 in the states until now.Well I had no idea what you were talking about either, helps to be more specific
Do you mean these

Loads if you google them on ebay and amazon
This is a good price - I missed this post. Thanks for sharing! I am going to put the link in this thread, too.
Not an issue.By the way, I have read that you need to use 220 backs because 35mm film has no paper backing.
I'm sorry - I did not know the rules for linking to outside sites here, so I thought everyone would just search:

Thanks for the link.
Now for a takeup reel...
I think normally, you'd buy two kits, and use a spent 35mm casette on the takeup. That way you could also leave ~12 inches or so, since cameras expecting rolls of 120 are going to be designed to advance past the paper leader, that that action would just waste film at the beginning of the reel.
Will the central spool from a 35mm reloadable cassette fit?Cassettes don't fit in my cameras.

I just use an old 120 reel. When I'm finished, I take the whole lot out in the dark and rewind the film back into the original cassette with my hands.Thanks for the link.

Is there a reason you wouldn't just snip off the end from the cassette and load it right on to a developing reel? You're already in the dark.I just use an old 120 reel. When I'm finished, I take the whole lot out in the dark and rewind the film back into the original cassette with my hands.
I only have one tank (2 reels), and usually about eight rolls (color and b&w) that need to be developed, so I like to leave my reels free in case there is something I want to develop in the moment. I hold onto rolls (especially color) to develop as many at once as possible in freshly mixed chemicals.Is there a reason you wouldn't just snip off the end from the cassette and load it right on to a developing reel?

You've really given me something to consider... instead, I am going to shoot 35mm in my 120 back in my field camera!Why would you shoot 35mm in a 120 camera when 120 film is available?
