I wouldn't risk running 35mm through my 6x7. The film is very close to the focal plane shutter and not being supported at the top and bottom risks it coming into contact with it. A camera with a leaf shutter would be different.

Shot a few rolls of 35mm on my 67, think I bought a kit from ebay for the 67. Home developed and scanned, I would suggest to ask a lab before sending them out.

The 6x7 frame is about twice the width of a 35mm frame, so (obviously) putting a 35mm film into the gate will give you a negative no wider than if you took it on 120 film, and the recorded scene will be no wider (ie no more "panoramic") than if you took it on 120 film. It will just be not as tall on the 35mm film, same as if you cropped the 120 film in the darkroom.

You will only get a wider (more "panoramic") scene on the 35mm film in a 6x7 camera if you use an ultra-wide lens, the 45mm say. This would record about the same scene width as if you took two shots with a 35mm camera with a standard lens, swivelling laterally between shots, and later stitching them together. But you could get the same scene by simply cropping the 120 film after using the 45mm lens, or for that matter using a 24mm lens on a 35mm camera and cropping later.

If you want whole rolls of wide aspect ratio shots, maybe 35mm film in a 120 camera is cheaper than cropping 120 film. I'm not impressed otherwise.

PS: Some MF film cameras with interchageable backs (Bronica? Mamiya ?) offered 35mm backs. They were said to be used by some cheap pros for events, wishing to impress the client with a big camera but actually saving film costs. Or maybe to get more shots between film changes.
I hear you on that one. I use 35 because I've got two freezers full of film and about half is 35mm. I lose only 1/3 of a stop on Panatomic-X that expired back in 1974. I use it at asa 25 on my RB67 SD backs with the 50mm lens.

Awesome images! Sprocket holes are cool and produce a powerful look.

Thanks for sharing,
