Using 35mm film in a 620/120 camera

My last contribution- check out these sites- I don't see any reason it can't work in a brownie. //lubitel-resource.tripod.com/links.html (then scroll down to 'Undercover 35') www.geocities.com/nitelitephoto/12035.html www.theverb.com/holga/experiment.htm www.theverb.com/holga/modification.htm www.panix.com/~reynolds/photography/35mm/panoramic.html

... but what's the point ?

Why not just print from the centre section of a 120/620 negative? It's not as if you're achieving any wider angle coverage by using narrower film ... and you'll still have the original neg should you wish to make a full-frame print in the future. Much like APS "panoramic" mode, this is an optical illusion, except you won't have the advantage of a (relatively) accurate viewfinder to ensure your framing is good.

You get the sprocket holes in the image

You get a visual effect with the sprocket holes. Which looks cool.

sorry, of course you won't have a tryptich, but wouldn't it be nice if you could?

would be nice to combine 35mm frams with the stretch of fim on photoshop perhaps. b.
