Using 35mm film in a 616 medium format camera

I recently had the idea of using two adapters to put a roll of 35mm into a 616 camera, thus making it almost a medium format 35mm camera. I make the 120 to 616 adapters and sell them here , I'm not sure where I bought the 35mm to 120 adapters. Putting the film in place required a little bit of force, but nothing that would damage the camera. After all the shots were taken, I went into a darkroom and rewinded the film with a pocket electric screwdriver fitted with a flat tip. A very simple, quick process! It also gives me an opportunity to use the camera I repaired and detailed in this post . I really liked the results. I think that elongated formats can be a really fun challenge to frame, either vertically or horizontally.  Moreover, what is really fun with this experimental process is that you're not really sure what you'll get. Trying to do as best as possible and wishing to get interesting results is always a process I enjoy. I also find that it's a good use of 400 s
