Subject: 220 in the 6x7
A while back I bought 20 rolls of Fuji NPS in 220 format.
I assume that using 220 film in the 6x7 is simply a matter of setting the switch on the right side of the camera (near the shutter button) and moving the pressure plate to 220 position. Is there any other glitch, gotcha, or foible that I have to watch out for?
Hmmm - just occurred to me - do I need a 220 spool on the uptake end ? (I assume that these rolls have smaller cores than 120's.)
You've got it. Change the frame counter and pressure plate, and when you load the film, line the arrows up with or just past the 220 marks.
the spools are the same size. 220 film does not have a paper backing, and so the spool is about the same diameter as 120 film.
