120 Takeup Spool For 35mm Film - New Version

New Version - Get it in plastic or metal.  For frequent use, the metal spools are superior and long lasting.

 

Do you have a 120 film camera? Want to shoot images with the sprocket holes exposed? Want to shoot specialty films that are not available in 120 format? If so, or you just like to play with film, these adapters are for you.

 

Proven design in use by photographers, this takeup spool winds up 35mm film onto a 120 format spool. There are two internal hooks that catch the tail of the film for winding. The Shapeways spool is the perfect companion to the matching 35mm film adapter, which is at https://www.shapeways.com/model/2733750.

 

When shooting 35mm in 120 cameras, the red counter window must be taped over with opaque black tape, and since most 120 cameras do not have a rewind, the camera must be unloaded in the darkroom and the 35mm film rewound back into its canister.  

 

These were designed for the Flyer 6x6 camera developed as a result of the Pinhole Printed Kickstarter project (pinholeprinted.com) but can be used in any 120 medium format camera.
