A failed experiment.

There was a 220 back thrown in when I got this Rapid Omega, which has been mostly useless due to the difficulty in finding 220 film. After a friend gave me a 3D printed 35 cassette to 120 spool adapter, I decided to try it out in that back due to the way the Rapid-Omega film advance works.

Sadly either the adapter doesn't work well in this camera or the back isn't quite working, as I wound up with lots and lots of overlapping frames. Still, I may manage to salvage a few frames out of it.

Konica Rapid Omega 200.
Koni-Omega Hexanon 60mm f5.6.
Efke KB50.

Very nice. I would imagine that would look great wet printed and mounted

Thanks.

The beauty about the Yash is that it sits nicely on the floor, jacked up at the front with a piece of old slate I found in the verge for the two-second exposure. I had a Manfrotto Pixi mini-tripod with me but the TLR is a bit top-heavy on it, and I haven't got a 'Leica Nipple' to use a cable release.

Mamiya M645 1000s, 80mm f2.8 C, Fomapan 120 100, Ilfotec LC29, Epson V550. Cheap film with good results. I suspect larger formats are more forgiving of this film.

I shot some Fomapan 100 in 35mm about 8 years ago, and it looked like overdeveloped Tri-X.
I wasn’t a fan...

But a bigger negative would have helped a lot...

I never had issues with Fomopan 100. This was rated at 400 i.e. pushed 2 stops, using DF96 Monobath.
