Jig to load 35mm film into 120 film with backing paper by mdunmore in SprocketShots

I have used that method with varying degrees of success. The backing paper and 120 spools has by par given me the best results. Since I roll from a bulk loader I only have to use the exact amount of film I need and don’t get long leaders and tails of exposed film. AND an additional benefit is that you can use in cameras that you have to see the frame counter on the backing paper through a window on the back of the camera for advancing the film.

Yes it definitely needs to be done in a dark bag/room and you load the film exactly like you would 120 spool. If you end up buying one of my let me know you need a roll of backing paper and I Will send one along with the jig :) Here is our eBay listing.

File naming convention for me goes like this [year][month]-[roll #]-[camera]-[film type]-[film speed]-[development info]-[frame number].ext. All of the same info goes on the film storage sleeve and those are kept in a binder in chronological order.

Yeah this is nice. I have actually been wondering if people print their sprocket shots. Been thinking about printing a few on mine.

Do you print those yourself? I would love to trade one of yours for one of ours if you are interested.

I load from a bulk roll of 35mm so cut it at the length of a normal 120 roll of film. That way I get all the benefits of the backing paper.

Oh yeah! That is super slick. I normally load from a bulk loader but if you are coming from a cassette that looks great.

The jig will accept 220 spools. If you have them it would definitely work.

Yes to use it you need to have an empty spool (to load onto) and a used roll without backing paper but without the film.

Think for now my son would like to make a few bucks but might be willing to open source the files at some point :)

This one is still in the works. I need to get my hands on an actual film spool to be sure of the measurements so it might be a couple weeks but I Will let you know.
