Just loaded my Photina
      #620639 - 03/03/2008 18:26

Hi I have just loaded my Photina Reflex with Velvia 100F, ensuring that there is good tension on the film

I have wound it on until there is a single black dot under the little red glass at the back is this the start or do I wind it on until a number shows (I have never used 120 film or cameras that use it before)

also how many exposures does a 6x6 camera give on 120 film?

any help would be gratefully appreciated

Steve

I don't know that camera but with roll film cameras that have a window the usual procedure is to wind to "1", take a shot, wind to "2" etc.

6x6 is 12 frames on 120, so after taking "12" wind until resistance ceases before opening the back.

Wind it on until the number shows. 6x6 is '12 on 120'.
