So why do I get more votes on my EPZ pictures of ducks than of girls?

Careful answers only please.

Sorry to correct anyone, but it's not different spool widths that cause the problem.

120 and 220 film are on the same spool. The difference is that 120 film has backing paper the full length. 220 film only has backing paper at the start and end, this making room for more film length.

The upshot of this is that for 220 the film pressure plate has to be in a slightly different position, otherwise the images would be unsharp as the film would be outside the area covered by depth of focus.

In TLRs that take both 120 and 220 the pressure plate has to be rotated into a new position depending on the film in use. In the 645 it's a different film insert.

We have two 19" CRT monitors - a Fujitsu Siemens and a Iiyama. They are better than TFTs without a doubt, but when they finally give up the ghost we will have to move on....

The screen on Sue's new Toshiba laptop is actually much better than any I've seen before, so we shall see.
