Load 120 film on old cameras designed for the Kodak 616 film format!
This Film Adapter Kit lets you load normal medium format 120 film in cameras made for the 616 film spools (for example cameras like the old Kodak SIX-16 or Brownie). The 616 film went out of production in 1985 and is extremely difficult to find, and if found it’s expensive and obviously expired! No original 616 spool is needed for this system: you don’t have to re-spool the film from one spindle to another.
With the 120 film in a 616 film camera you’ll get 6 panoramic-format photographs with a size of about 4¼ x 2½ inches (11 x 6cm).
The parts are printed with a very solid PETG polymer, which is even stronger than the 120 spool material itself!
The KIT come with four universal adapters.
Load the the empty spool (take-up spool) with two adapters mounted at both ends.
Mount the other two adapters on the unexposed film and install in the camera.
Insert the paper leader into the take-up spool and roll up until it’s well inserted.
That’s it! The kit is very easy to use and will work with all variations, brands of 120 film sold today.
Please visit my eBay store for all these film formats and more.
In general, all cameras (not only Kodak) made for the 616 film format will work with 120 film using this adapter.

Winding and Frame Numbering
Use the red window in the back of the camera for frame numbering: take the first picture at n.3.
Take the pictures with the frame counter at: 3, 5½, 8, 10½, 13, 15½.
If the red window is not available, use the following instructions.
With the camera open, start winding the film until you see the big vertical arrow, then close your camera.
Turn the film advance knob 8 times (16 half turns) so that the film reaches the correct placing for the first photo.
After the first photo is taken, advance the film by 2,5 knob’s turns (or 5 half turns), and do this for photo 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Then wind the film until the end: the empty spool becomes the take-up spool.
Put the key adapter on it and go shoot again!
A little trial and error is to be expected.
