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.

Know your film

Choosing 120 film

How many frames you get depends on the camera, not the film: a 6x4.5 back gives 15 or 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.

Check whether the listing is for one roll or a pack. Pack sizes and prices vary, so compare the cost per roll before choosing.

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.

From your camera to our lab

Once you have finished shooting, bring your film to Morgan Arcade or post it to our Cardiff lab for developing and scanning.

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?

Common counts are 15 or 16 at 6×4.5, 12 at 6×6 and 10 at 6×7. Other formats differ, for example 6×9 usually gives 8. Check your camera manual.
