Buy 120 medium format film online

Medium format gives you a negative several times larger than 35mm, which means noticeably more detail, smoother tones and a shallower look. If you shoot a Hasselblad, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, Bronica or a Holga, this is your film.

How to choose

How many frames you get depends on the camera, not the film: a 6x4.5 back gives around 16 shots per roll, 6x6 gives 12, and 6x7 gives 10. Plan on fewer frames and slower shooting than 35mm.

Because the negative is so much bigger, slower and finer-grained stocks really pay off here. Ektar 100 and Ektachrome E100 are the ones to reach for when you intend to print large.

We sell most 120 stock in 5-packs, which is how professional film is boxed and the cheapest way to buy it per roll.

120 film has no protective cassette — it's paper-backed and light-sensitive once unwrapped. Keep it sealed until it's in the camera, and tape the end tab down after shooting before you send it for developing.

Shot the roll? Post it back for developing and scanning or drop it into the store — see our developing prices.

120 film questions

Is 220 film the same as 120?
No. 220 is double-length film on the same spool width but without full paper backing, and it needs a compatible film back. We stock 120.
Do you develop and scan 120 film?
Yes, in house in Cardiff. We also offer high-resolution scans of 120 negatives, which is where medium format really shows its advantage.
How many shots are on a roll of 120 film?
Between 10 and 16, depending on your camera's frame size — 12 on a 6x6 camera, 10 on 6x7, around 16 on 6x4.5.
