Greetings! I have been approved for my first solo photography show at Soho Photo Gallery! It is entitled: TRANSGENDER BEAUTIFUL and this series was all shot on 120mm film with a Holga camera. I am excited about this work's positive message and would love your help in making a grassroots promotional outreach grow BIG. It opens Sept. 8th (reception 6-8pm) and runs through Oct. 1st. Please help spread the word! (All film self-developed and all photographs hand-printed.) Can go to my website for work: jadybates.com Love & Light, -jady

Welcome to APUG. Congrats on the solo show - it's a very timely subject. If I'm up in NYC while the show is still on the wall I'll try to get in and see it. That said, one minor technical peeve - the film format is not 120mm - it's called 120 because the size came from a Kodak designation scheme for their films. The size is actually 60mm across, with most images being somewhere in the 53-57mm width range.

Welcome to Apug! And Thanks for that Love and Light...
I shall have a look at your site.

(there is a "crossed" image placeholder at your post, likely some Apug bug.)

To unfold on what TheFlyingCamera said:

There are manufacturer-own types and designations as (type) 120, 110, Rapid, SL, Super-8 and many more. Some of them became industry standards.
These all refer to ready to use prepared film. Typically in some sort of cassette (or at least on some covered spool as in type 120).
See my use of the word type.


The other designations refers to the actual or nominal width of film. As 35mm, 70mm, 9mm film etc.
And these often can be used in a variety of cameras.

Sometimes though these designations are carelessly mixed up as 35mm instead of type 135.
Even to a degree that they meanwhile became standard as 35mm camera, although actually a type 135 camera is meant.
