Condition Matters: Rolled or Curled Film

If your medium format film has been stored tightly rolled or has pronounced curl, results may be limited. We will do our best, but please only send curled film if you are comfortable with whatever we can achieve.

120 & 620: A Brief History

The medium format roll film used in Kodak Brownie cameras dates back to 1900–1901. These simple fixed-focus “point and shoot” models helped popularize photography. “Medium format” typically refers to 120 and 220 roll film wound on a spool (not in a cassette). 220 is twice as long as 120 and usually lacks full paper backing, fitting more frames on the same spool size.

Kodak introduced the Six-20 camera in 1931 along with 620 film. Although Kodak stopped manufacturing 620, 120 film is the same size and can be re-spooled onto 620 spools in a dark room if needed.

Common Medium Formats

While 35 mm is fixed at 24×36 mm, 120/220 roll film supports multiple frame sizes because the film width is fixed at 6 cm and the frame length varies. Popular frame sizes include 645, 6×6, and 6×7. A 6×6 camera often yields 12 shots per roll; 645 can yield 16. The 6×7 format enlarges cleanly to 8×10" paper but usually requires a tripod due to heavier camera bodies.
