[QUOTE="STM, post: 363486, member: 12827"] All I got was the bracket. The lens is my 40mm f/4 Distagon which is the equivalent of a 24mm on FF. The Hassy has removable backs which can be changed mid roll because they have dark slides. I have 2 A16 and 1 A12 back. They take 120 roll film. The A16 backs are 6cm x 4.5cm and you get 16 exposures per roll of 120. The A12 back is 6cm x 6cm and you get 12 exposures per roll. 220 film is very hard to find and it has a larger capacity than 120 but requires an A24 back which are very hard to find in good shape. All of my 120 development reels are designed to hold 120 and not 220 film. Loading 220 on a stainless steel reel is a little dicey because the film is wide to begin with and flexes a lot more than 35mm but it is also coiled a lot tighter on the reel than 120. If you are not careful you can get film to stick to the film below it and you will not get development. I have gotten half way through a 220 roll only to realize something is not right and unwound it and started all over again, which is no small feat in pitch blackness! This rig is not light, as you see it, it weighs about 6.5 pounds. There is [I]A LOT [/I]of glass in that lens. [/QUOTE]
