Category: 120 Film & Shooting

Practical 120 film photography guides for TLR owners and anyone learning medium format. This archive covers film stocks and formats, loading and unloading, frame counts, metering, focusing, waist-level viewing, parallax, and the deliberate pace of shooting a square negative. Articles should answer the questions that appear once a roll is in your hands: how to avoid exposing the film, how many frames to expect, how to set up a reliable exposure, and how the camera’s viewing lens affects composition. Scanning and developing have their own archive, while camera-specific buying decisions belong in the buying guides and reviews.
