A New Way To Convert Old Cameras To 120 Film

[Joe Monahan]

Hello all,

I wanted to share a short tutorial I put up on converting old cameras that take 116, 130, 122 etc film to allow them to use 120 film.

It is a work in progress, so any feedback is welcome.

Thanks a lot -

Very interesting instructions Joe. (That 3d printer technology baffles me!) I've been tempted once or twice to get an old 116 or whatever box camera. Maybe your instructions will compel me to actually do it now.

Welcome to RPF, by the way. If you get a chance, why not pop over to the Meet and Great forum and post a little intro? We're always interested in knowing a little bit about our new members. Thanks, and again,...Welcome!

Did so, thanks. I plan to make the 3D files available for download so people can print their own. Still need to make some for other film formats, probably especially 116, though I'm open to suggestions.
