Load 120 film on old cameras designed for the Kodak 124 film format!

This Film Adapter Kit lets you load normal medium format 120 film in cameras made for the 124 film spools (for example cameras like the old Kodak No. 3A Folding Brownie Model A. The 122 film went out of production in 1961 and is extremely difficult to find, and if found it's expensive and obviously expired! No original 124 spool is needed for this system: you don’t have to re-spool the film from one spindle to another.

Film sizes Equivalent to 124

With the 120 film in a 124 film camera you’ll get 4 panoramic-format photographs with a size of about 3¼" × 4¼" inches.

The parts are printed with a very solid PETG polymer, which is even stronger than the 120 spool material itself!

The KIT come with four universal adapters.

  • Load the the empty spool (take-up spool) with two adapters mounted at both ends.
  • Mount the other two adapters on the unexposed film and install in the camera.
  • Insert the paper leader into the take-up spool and roll up until it’s well inserted.
  • That’s it! The kit is very easy to use and will work with all variations, brands of 120 film sold today.

Please visit my eBay store for all these film formats and more.

In general, all cameras (not only Kodak) made for the 124 film format will work with 120 film using this adapter.

  • No. 3 Bulls-Eye
  • No. 3 Brownie
  • Kodak No. 3A Folding Brownie Model A

Other makers’ cameras that accept 124 film will also work.

Winding and Frame Numbering

  • With the camera still open, start winding the film until you see the big vertical arrow, then close your camera.
  • Turn the film advance knob 10 times (20 half turns) so that the film reaches the correct placing for the first photo.
  • After the first photo is taken, advance the film by 4 knob’s turns (or 8 half turns), and do this for photo 2, 3, and 4 (the last one).
  • Wind until the end of the film: the empty spool becomes the take-up spool.
  • You’re ready to shoot again.

NOTES: The No. 3A Kodaks have a little red window in the back of the camera: it was used to read the frame number written on the film’s paper. It’s highly unlikely that you will see some sort of numbers or signs on the 120 film paper because of the totally different film format. But if this is your case, use it as a helper for controlling the film position in the camera.
A little trial and error is to be expected.
