Description: This Film Adapter Kit lets you load normal medium format 120 film in cameras or film backs made for the 51 or later marked 151 film cameras. The 151 films went out of production in the 1940s and are extremely difficult to find, and if found it's expensive and obviously expired! No original 151 spools are needed for this system: you don’t have to re-spool the film from one spool to another. If you do not already have at least 1 original 51 spools you will need to order 2 adapters. An empty 120 spool with a though hole is not included but is very easy to get on eBay. Please note not all modern film has a hole all the way through. You may need to drill a hole or use an older spool for this to work correctly. If you have any questions, please message me. Load 120 films on old cameras and an old film holder back designed for the Kodak 51/151 film format! One example is the Kodak/Graflex #51 4¼ x 3¼ Roll holder, but it should fit anything designed for 51/151 roll film. With this kit, you will be able to take wonderful panoramic photos with your vintage camera. The parts are printed with a very solid PETG polymer with medal drive pins and metal hardware to ensure solid mounting. The KIT comes with 6 pcs. 2 adapters, 2 drive inserts, 1 m3 nut, and 1 m3 screw. You also need a 2.5mm hex drive to install the screw but it's not 100% required and can be assembled without it. Load the empty spool (take-up spool) with two adapters mounted at both ends. Mount the other two adapters on the unexposed film and install them in the camera. Insert the paper leader into the take-up spool and roll up until it’s well inserted.Be sure to block the film count window with some black tape to prevent light leaks. That’s it! The kit is very easy to use and will work with all variations, brands of 120 film sold today.Winding and Frame Numbering With the camera/holder still open, start winding the film until you see the big vertical arrow, then close your camera/holder. Turn the film advance knob 8-10 times (16-20 half turns) so that the film reaches the correct place for the first photo.You may want to use an expired roll as a test to get your spacing correct. After the first photo is taken, advance the film by 4-5 knob turns (or 8-10 half turns), and do this for photos 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (the last one usually). Wind until the end of the film: the empty spool becomes the take-up spool. You’re ready to shoot again.Wanted (Earn a free set of adapters for your rare camera) I need the exact measurements for these following roll types/sizes: 106, 109, 115, 119, and 121.If you have access to any of these film spools and you can measure them to the closest MM, I will trade you a full set of adapters for your trouble.
