Dallmeyer 1/4 plate roll-film back (help a noob!)
"Mary Pegg" wrote in message ... Got grandpa's old SLR here, intend to use it this weekend. It's a quarter-plate camera with a 120 roll-film back, and I'm hoping for some help. Last time I used it was about 20 years ago, and I developed the roll myself. snip The 120 roll-film back takes 6x9 negs. So, questions: am I right to assume that I roll the film so that the exposed side is on the inside? Given the mechanism I could do it either way. This camera is obviously intended for people that know what they're doing! (Back in the 30s or whatever - can anyone give me rough date based on this description?) There's a little red window onto the film back: will this give the right number at the right time? I assume I'll get 8 shots out of a standard 120 roll. From a 120 size roll of Kodak Portra 160: There are seven rows of numbers. The top two rows run from 1 to 16. The middle two rows are 1 to 12, and the bottom three rows are 1 to 8. As for loading the film, the printed side of the roll paper goes toward the red window. |

The film + paper backing is rolled onto the takeup spool so that the _writing_ on the paper backing is on the outside as the film + paper rolls onto the takeup spool. This puts the film "on the inside". David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

light at the end of the roll. To get the film on the wrong side on the take-up spool implies winding that spool the "wrong way"...which cameras in my experience will not allow you to do. This one does! Thanks for all the replies. Now to see how the films have come out. -- "Checking identity papers is a complete waste of time.
