Modding a 120 camera to take 35mm film Part 6
This was my project to use a vintage 120 roll film camera with 35mm film.
The wind is key here. Usually with roll film you can confirm the psostion using the backing paper but no backing paper is here. Usually what you would do is mark the film before it gets to the edge of the exposure area and then gently wind across noting the travel of the wind knob. Here you can do that but as the bencini uses 2 viewing ports you can also mark the film and measure the turn to get them between the 2 ports. Here it was just under a 3/4 turn
