About 120 Film
120 film is the medium format roll film used by Hasselblad, Mamiya, Pentax 67, Bronica and twin-lens cameras like the Yashica Mat-124 G. We stock color in Kodak Portra 160, 400 and 800, Ektar 100 and Gold 200, plus CineStill 800T and 50D; black and white in Kodak Tri-X, Ilford HP5, FP4+, Delta 400 and Delta 3200, and CineStill XX; Kodak Ektachrome 100 slide film; and LomoChrome Purple and Metropolis for shifted color. Most rolls are about $10 to $20.
When you are done shooting, drop your rolls at our lab in Brooklyn or mail them in to be developed and scanned.
How many shots are on a roll of 120 film?
It depends on the camera: 16 frames at 6x4.5, 12 at 6x6, 10 at 6x7 and 8 at 6x9.
Which 120 film should I start with?
Portra 400 for color, and Ilford HP5 or Kodak Tri-X for black and white. All three are forgiving if your exposure is a little off.
Is 120 film the same as 35mm?
No. 120 film is about 6cm wide and rolled on a spool with a paper backing, so it only fits medium format cameras. For 35mm cameras, see our 35mm film.
What is 120 film?
120 is medium format roll film, about 6cm wide, wound on a spool with a paper backing. Kodak introduced it in 1901, and it is still the standard film for Hasselblad, Mamiya, Bronica and twin-lens cameras. Its large negative gives far more detail than 35mm.
Is 120 film still made?
Yes. Kodak, Ilford and Fujifilm still make 120 film, and CineStill and Lomography sell their own stocks, in color, black and white and slide. We stock about 20 kinds, most at $10–$20 a roll, and our lab develops 120 too.
What is the difference between 120 and 220 film?
220 film is twice as long as 120 and has no paper backing, so you get twice the frames per roll. It is very rare today, and most cameras need a special back or pressure-plate setting to use it. 120 is the format to buy today.
Can I use 120 film in a 620 camera?
Often, yes. 620 film is the same width as 120, but on a thinner metal spool. You can respool 120 onto a 620 spool in the dark, and you need a 620 take-up spool in the camera. Some 620 cameras also accept a trimmed 120 spool.
