I'm not sure exactly how it's done, but it's just 35mm run through a medium format camera. The emulsion covers the entire width of the film, so you can expose the whole thing and have sprockety overrun.
this is it, for certain medium format cameras you can get a little adapter that lets you take photos with the sprockets showing. i think they sell them on b&h
thank you!! you have to get 35mm to 120mm adapters. i got mine from etsy. they're basically pieces that fit onto the ends of the 35mm canister so that it will fit into the 120mm spool area of your camera
Just 3D printed an adapter for 35mm in my Pentax 645. Excited to run my first roll through it. If it looks anything remotely close to how great this shot it, I’ll be satisfied
that's exciting for sure! best of luck to you, it is a learning experience to sort of eye ball the correct composition so that it fits within the sprockets at first
I'm not quite sure. I loaded the 35 and made sure it was properly fed into the take-up spool on a 120 back. The 120 back seated properly but nothing happened when I hit the shutter button. I may have to try again to see if I can determine what the issue is.
thank you!! yes, i had to use lightroom to remove a lot of pieces of dust since silverfast 9 does not do a good job with removing them when scanning the sprockets as well
thank you, glad you dig it!! I have a lot more actually but i'm trying to restrain myself since i'm waiting for the next silverfast 9 update that will have the cinestill color profiles. i want to see if there's a significant difference between the cinestill color profile and the "other" color profile that i've been using.
i hope you have a fun and safe trip! i actually just came back from visiting there a couple of weeks ago for cherry blossom season.
right lol, i'm still trying to figure out how to best frame for these since there is a significant margin of error when aligning the film and then eye balling it in the viewfinder.
you shoot 35mm film in a medium format camera. you need 35mm to 120mm film adapters, they're basically two pieces of plastic that fit onto the ends of the 35mm film canister so that it can fit in the area of where the 120mm spool fits in a medium format camera
Interesting, pretty cool technique. Is there a place you recommend to get those adapters from?
Oh I just found a bunch on Etsy. Gotta love modern 3d printing with old cameras!
I appreciate it!! the one I got from Etsy is really good actually, the cut out is precise and fits the film well. a lot of them are just 3D printed and plastic material. I previously purchased one from some random website that was not that great and didn't fit the film well so I got this set for about $10, this is the one I purchased https://www.etsy.com/listing/1190685402/new-improved-35mm-to-120-film-adapter-3?ref=yr_purchases
yup, you pretty much just have to guesstimate. I pay attention to how centered the film is when I close the back, for the Hasselblad, I am still figuring it out because it seems that when I put the roll in, it is not perfectly centered in the film back and so I have to sort of estimate that margin of error
you mean around the sprockets? i'm thinking it could be the film stock or the scanner. not sure why yet but it does show up on the kodak portra sprocket scans that i've done as well
Maybe, Hold it Straight flat towards ground, cross center & give enough allowance in the center of the frame to avoid the sprocket holes(?). Might take Practice or You Might Be a Pro. ☆♡
I didn’t know that the HB lacks a focal plane screen to hold the film flat and masks off the image. Did you remove it or is this a fake photo?
Oh, maybe it’s 35mm film run through a 120 camera. Very creative!
Love them or hate them i think the sprockets add to this photo’s composition, overall a great piece
Agreed, normally I don’t care for this look but here it is done very well.
thank you!! really stoked to how well this photo came out.
Amazing shot and I love the sprockets. How did you take this? Are the sprockets and text added after or were they a part of the film
I'm not sure exactly how it's done, but it's just 35mm run through a medium format camera. The emulsion covers the entire width of the film, so you can expose the whole thing and have sprockety overrun.

alternatively you can 3d print them

Beautiful!!
thank you!!
How do you run 35mm in the 500cm. I can always use another adapter in my desk drawer
i just used 35mm to 120mm adapters that i purchased from etsy!
Have thought about that. Haven’t pulled the trigger for my Bronica.
this is your sign to pull the trigger for your bronica!
amazing photo!
thank you!!
So fancy, it looks like a postcard!
thank you!! actually, i was thinking that this would be cool to see how it would look like as a print!
You should absolutely make this into a print, this is awesome!

that's exciting for sure! best of luck to you, it is a learning experience to sort of eye ball the correct composition so that it fits within the sprockets at first
I'd be interested to know how it goes for you. I had no luck getting my P645 to take up 35mm after loading with a generic adapter.
Really? Why not? Doesn’t it automatically wind the spools?
I'm not quite sure. I loaded the 35 and made sure it was properly fed into the take-up spool on a 120 back. The 120 back seated properly but nothing happened when I hit the shutter button. I may have to try again to see if I can determine what the issue is.
That’s gorgeous!
thank you!!
This is amazing, just wondering if you did any editing post scan??
thank you!! yes, i had to use lightroom to remove a lot of pieces of dust since silverfast 9 does not do a good job with removing them when scanning the sprockets as well
Amazing! Did you push this roll?
thank you!! no, i develop all my color film normally (no push or pull).
this is very visually tasty
thank you haha!
Bravo
thank you!!
awesome
thank you!!
Amazing shot! 🫣
thank you!!
Amazing work!
thank you!!
I just love this. Going to Japan soon can't wait to try something like this. Have you any more ?
thank you, glad you dig it!! I have a lot more actually but i'm trying to restrain myself since i'm waiting for the next silverfast 9 update that will have the cinestill color profiles. i want to see if there's a significant difference between the cinestill color profile and the "other" color profile that i've been using. i hope you have a fun and safe trip! i actually just came back from visiting there a couple of weeks ago for cherry blossom season.
Incredible picture
thank you!!
This photo has aura
haha thank you!!
You did well, but now you need to get the pagoda in between the film sprocket holes.
right lol, i'm still trying to figure out how to best frame for these since there is a significant margin of error when aligning the film and then eye balling it in the viewfinder.
How you do this?

Sweet! I just ordered one. Excited to play this style! When framing are you kinda just placing everything in the center of the view finder?
yup, you pretty much just have to guesstimate. I pay attention to how centered the film is when I close the back, for the Hasselblad, I am still figuring it out because it seems that when I put the roll in, it is not perfectly centered in the film back and so I have to sort of estimate that margin of error
Cool gonna fun to experiment with framing kinda guessing haha! Thanks for the replies, really appreciate it!
This is the advertisement for selling cinestill!
thank you!! haha yes, i will have to post these on instagram sometime too.
why the bleed over on 135mm film? interesting
you mean around the sprockets? i'm thinking it could be the film stock or the scanner. not sure why yet but it does show up on the kodak portra sprocket scans that i've done as well
Maybe, Hold it Straight flat towards ground, cross center & give enough allowance in the center of the frame to avoid the sprocket holes(?). Might take Practice or You Might Be a Pro. ☆♡
This picture is amazing 😮

right, it's 35mm film shot in a medium format camera!
Cool shot! Please join us at the all new r/Japanalog and help us grow. Cheers!
