Rolling my own 120 film from 70mm??

[Radost]

I have reduced the cost of 135 by bill loading.
Is loading 120/616 a good idea?
There is

I think using an adapter is a good idea, since you're able to use more variety of fresh/more affordable 120 film in your 616 camera, and it'll be easier to get developed at any film lab. I have that same adapter to use in my Kodak Special 616 folding camera (which is currently being cla'ed & new bellows installed).

You can buy expired 616 film off ebay/various sites (prices will vary depending on where & when you look for rolls) & depending on the film could get something from it, but youd have to develop it yourself at home since nobody really develops 70mm film, last time I checked BlueMoonCamera did but at a high cost ($21 bucks to develop a roll).

If you buy expired 616 film online, you can reroll it with "not as expired" 70mm bulk film off ebay & reroll it, Film Photography Project does have some Kodak 500T in 65mm film that can also be used (they have a video on their youtube on how to do it)

There is a whole guide on it here:

Introduction Hello everyone! As most of you are aware, we are seeing film prices go up again. And while you may be aware of 35mm bulk films that decrease the cost per roll (for me rolling Vision3 by up to 80%!), Medium format film is does not have a similar option, so we just need to suck it...
