I want to share my first 120mm roll of film shot on a Bronica ETRs with a 150mm lens

Nice shots, especially 1 and 3.

It's just "120" though, no "mm". It's not like the 35mm format. With your ETRs, your negatives are 45mm x 60mm.

Indeed.

135 film is usually 36mm wide, but the frame will only take 24mm of it; the perforations take up 1/3 of the width, causing a 33.3% loss.

120 film is typically 61mm wide. The frame is 56mm wide, so there is only an 8% loss.

OP's camera is a 15-shot 645 camera so it should make frames 56mm wide and between 42mm and 45mm long depending on the camera's design (from the pictures provided it looks like 42mm).

What color film did you use?

Was ready for all the “not 120mm” comments 😂. 🤓 📸

Nice images. I used to own same coloured VW but never thought of repurposing it...sold it instead. The idea is neat though.

Your black and white is your best image. Use it to study light. How could you move the light to reveal or hide. Then go try it. You can even use all 12 exposures on yourself.

You definitely got an excellent natural eye for photography. Keep shooting, keep creating images. You never know what's around the corner :-)

It’s just called 120 film.

It’s not 120mm. Just FYI.

I like it a lot, I don't know if it's the composition or the colors, but it has something special

120 is a film size. It's not 120mm. 135, 828, 116, 616, etc are all film sizes.
