35mm to 120 Film adapter

The 35mm to 120 Film Adapter is a simple yet creative tool that lets you use 35mm film in medium-format cameras. With this adapter, the narrower film runs smoothly in the 120 film chamber, allowing you to capture a full frame—including the perforations.

The result? Images with a unique atmosphere, where the perforations become part of the composition. This technique is particularly popular among those who want to break away from classic aspect ratios and create something with more character.

Why is it exciting?

In traditional 35mm photography, the perforations are a “byproduct” of the image. With this adapter, however, you intentionally incorporate them into the visual world, which creates a completely new aesthetic:

• a wider field of view
• a filmic, experimental vibe
• absolutely unique frames

For wedding or creative photo series, for example, it can work incredibly well if you want to show something different.

How does it work?

The adapter essentially “fills out” the space for 120 film while guiding the 35mm film through the center.

Simply:

1. insert the 35mm film into the adapter
2. load it into the camera as if it were 120 film
3. shoot—the camera uses the entire frame

Important: since the camera is designed for the 120 format, the frames will have unusual aspect ratios and sizes, which is one of the greatest charms of the final result.
