  • 120mm to 35mm Film Adapter Ebay Review. For the Sprocket Hole Photography Enthusiasts.

    I got lazy trying to make my own 120mm adapters for 35mm film for my Yashica-D Camera because... they keep breaking and I suck appearantly. So I decided to take the lazy way out and see if anyone else has made them. After surfing through e-bay for a little while, I came across this page.

    link here

    sadly the page didn't show anything of the item they were selling just photographs of what the item could make. It looked sketchy so I didn't care for it.....

    .. until recently. I bought it.. for science! and for our curiosity, you and me both. your with me right?! your curious too right?! you like film too right?!?! I hope you do or you would've ignored this blog the second you read the title.


    There are the Brackets and It came with a Piece of paper for instructions.


    That's what it looks like plugged in.

    It looks like... a waste of $12.50.... It kinda was. I was kinda pissed off when I opened my mail to find 2 pieces of crap and a piece of paper for instructions. But. It does work. for the most part. It's a little short for my bracket in my Yashica D and i'm guessing it would be for any other 120mm fim camera. I can see it pop off if your elbow was hit while holding the camera or something. But it will work none the less. Seeing this made me want to make my own version because of how simple it looks. But when will I have the time really. 

    All In All. If you don't have much time and have some spare cash in your pocket, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and buy it. If you have the time to make your own I suggest you do because I think you can make a better one yourself because it will meet your standards. This one did not meet mine, but it works. I'm not gonna complain. 

    Oh and don't forget you'll need a 120mm empty spool as well to tape the 35mm film on there to wind the film.

     

    welp.. those are my 2 cents. If you wanna get the adapter feel free to go to his store here. He has other adapters for 35mm as well but they all shouldn't be too far off from the ones above.
