How to Make a Roll Film Adapter

Cut a section of the Popsicle stick that is the same length as the 120 mm film spool. Open the back of your camera and insert the cut stick lengthwise into the film compartment to test its size. The stick should fit easily and have little room to move up or downwards. Do not worry if the stick slides from side to side. Remove the stick from the camera.

Lay the stick flat on the table and place the roll of 35 mm film lengthwise onto the stick. The film should be in the middle of the stick with equal lengths of stick protruding from either end. Roll the film canister around until the feeder strip of film is on the top of the roll and feeding out towards the right hand side. Tape the 35 mm canister of film to the stick without taping the actual film. The tape should only be touching the canister and the stick.

Insert the second 120 mm film spool into the take-up compartment in your camera. Insert the stick and 35 mm film into the camera's film compartment so that the film is feeding out across the back of the camera and towards the take up spool.

Thread the 35 mm feeder film through the center of the take-up spool. Use a small piece of electrical tape to fix the film to the take-up spool and prevent the film from sliding upward or downwards on the take-up spool.

Tear a small piece of aluminum foil and tape it over the red window on your camera back. Cover the entire window so that it is completely blocked off from light. Put the camera back on your camera and advance the film about five rotations before shooting your first frame.
