No, you need 120 film for a 120 back and 220 for a 220 back. The reason is that 220 film has twice the length but doesn't have backing paper except at the start and end. As a consequence the pressure plate needs to hold the film in a slightly different position. Also, the counter needs to know th...

And you can pick up a s/h 120 back pretty cheaply

this is no longer a issue as I have bought a 645n with a 120 back but I now need to find a lens for it. I plan to shoot B&W Landscapes with this camera also architecture photography and to odd seascape when I'm near the coast

I understand that 220 backs can be easily converted to 120 backs. I only have a single 120 back so it's not an issue for me (though I have some 220 film I can currently only use in my 124G). Ffordes are expensive for medium format lenses and very rarely have 75mm primes. The 75mm lens is very g...

John. If I remember rightly from my MF 645 when you put the film on its 120 back and close it up it either rolls on to the first frame itself OR when you press the shutter it moves to the first frame.?? As it is motorised you don't have to wind it on like the TLCs or the old bellows type cameras. If...

There's a line on the backing paper that needs to line up to an arrow on the film back. You load the film and wind it to there. Once the back is in the camera, the first time you press the shutter it will wind on to the first frame. None of this has too be done in the dark, but as John said, do...

thank you for your replies what about when it's finished will the camera rewind the film or is this a manual exercise ? You may have found this out by now, but you don't 'rewind' roll film, it moves from the loaded spool to the take-up spool (like a reel to reel tape recorder). You then seal the r...

I once lost a take up spool thereby rendering a very expensive camera useless for want of a part you cannot buy:roll: I request the empty spool when submitting film to be developed and get it back with the negs/slides. As you say, you cannot buy spares. Best regards

3 Images from Cornwall with the 645z
The classic St Michaels Mount shot performed to perfection. I was standing in the same spot back in July having just arrived in Cornwall at about 0630am - unfortunately in July - this was well after sunrise - and the tide was out! Carl

Taken the plunge.
Well in a world where everything is 'amazing' and 'unbelievable', this truly is amazing. The detail that is picked up by your new system got me staring at this little beast for ages. And this is hand held! Ugly isn't he! I'm sure you'll manage to get the most out of this camera if anyone can. ...

Hi Mark Only picked up on your post last night and I have to say that the images you've produced so far are a great advert for both your skills and the 645Z. The cranefly detail is stunning and the woodland shot has qualities about it that are difficult to define. I often see comments about photo...

Took some general shots today with a 45-80mm just to see what it performed like. Some purple fringing in some situations. However, the resolution and detail captured by the 645Z is disturbing. All hand held and full res jpegs. full image at 45mm a straight crop of the moon from the ful...

Newbie to Medium Format and want some advice
I have 645N with FA 45mm 2.8 going begging If you want to start you MF journey with something modern :) And yes, 120mm positives are stunning. They are big enough to mount in frames with no back and put in the window :) oh yes, I have a load of film in the freezer, ready to go.

Pentax 67 with polaroid back
I'm a professional photographer based in London and shoot on a Pentax 67 my Pentax with a polaroid back has broken, I want to convert that camera back so I have a spare. So my question is does anyone have a Pentax 67 with Polaroid back which is collecting dust they don't use anymore or know of s...

ZED - no particular reason for this post.
I was expecting it to be a game-changer in terms of high ISO and macro, but the K5iis is so good in the dark and retains its colour better at high iso that the difference in ISO performance is only marginal really. The z scores on retained detail of course, after you've crunched the noisy image down...
