THESE ARE A STRONGER VERSION OF OUR 616 TO 120 ADAPTERS. THESE INCLUDE A THOUGH-HOLE TO FIT MORE CAMERA MODELS AND STAINLESS-STEEL PINS TO DRIVE THE SPOOL. 

Load 120 films on old cameras designed for the Kodak 616 film format!

This Film Adapter Kit lets you load normal medium format 120 film in cameras made for the 616 film spools (for example cameras like the old Kodak SIX-16 or Brownie). The 616 films went out of production in 1985 and are extremely difficult to find, and if found it's expensive and obviously expired! No original 616 spools is needed for this system: you don’t have to re-spool the film from one spindle to another.

With the 120 films in a 616-film camera, you’ll get 6 panoramic-format photographs with a size of about 4¼ x 2½ inches (11 x 6cm).

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

The KIT comes with four universal adapters.

  • 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 it up until it’s well inserted.
  • That’s it! The kit is very easy to use and will work with all variations, and brands of 120 films sold today.

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

In general, all cameras (not only Kodak) made for the 616-film format will work with 120 films using this adapter.

Winding and Frame Numbering

Use the red window in the back of the camera for frame numbering: take the first picture at n.3. Take the pictures with the frame counter at 3, 5½, 8, 10½, 13, and 15½.

If the red window is not available, use the following instructions.

  • With the camera open, start winding the film until you see the big vertical arrow, then close your camera.
  • Turn the film advance knob 8 times (16 half turns) so that the film reaches the correct place for the first photo.
  • After the first photo is taken, advance the film by 2,5 knob turns (or 5 half turns), and do this for photos 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
  • Then wind the film until the end: the empty spool becomes the take-up spool.
  • Put the key adapter on it and go shoot again!
  • A little trial and error is to be expected.
Wanted (Earn a free set of adapters for your rare camera)
  • I need the exact measurements for the following roll types/sizes: 106, 109, 112, 117, 119, 121, and 129.
  • 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.
  • Please message me for details.
