I read a trick used by a wedding photographer involving empty 120 spools. I will pass it along because it sounded slick, but I suggest you either test it or listen well to others who have used it:
Open a roll of film and insert the tab into an empty spool. Wind the film forward a bit onto this empty spool, put the two together and hold them together with a rubber band. In the field, you insert the empty spool into position and pull the film roll back to its proper position.
If this can be done in extra backs, by an assistant, so much the better!
If you have only one body and are heading to a setup where you need ten shots and you have three shots on the roll- burn the roll and load a fresh one.
How about the pockets full of HOT flashbulbs!************* Only downside was the pockets full of empty spools![]()
Contax 645. I guess I need to buy an extra film back...
How about the pockets full of HOT flashbulbs!I had plenty of burnt fingers back then.
Unless you are planning on shooting different types of film you might as well buy inserts, not backs. Swapping an insert is faster than swapping a back and they should probably be cheaper (no idea about Contax prices).
So buy a bunch of inserts, load them with 220 (if you can find your film in 220 that is) and fire away. When there is a bit of downtime in the wedding, clean-up the used inserts and reload them.
Sorry I didn't notice that.Contax 645. Post #4.
