‘A12’ ﬁlm magazines accept all 120 size ﬁlms and produce a 6 x 6cm image. They are easy to use and

can be pre-loaded for rapid workﬂow. They provide the opportunity to vary the type of ﬁlm used

and can be quickly and easily switched mid-ﬁlm without losing any frames.

There are a number of reasons why using ﬁlm might either be preferable or even necessary for digi-

tal photographers too. For example you might want the speciﬁc results you know that a certain ﬁlm

emulsion can produce or you might want to use very long exposure times, etc.

A magazine also functions as an emergency battery-free back up to a digital back. Also, remember

that a 6 x 6 cm ﬁlm magazine use will also allow you to exploit the full focal length of your lenses.

Operation of the magazines is not diﬃcult but pay particular attention to the section on loading.

Go through the procedure one step at a time and practice a little until you feel conﬁdent. Note espe-

cially which way round the spool of ﬁlm is placed and the positioning of the backing paper under

the clamp bar.

The ﬁlm is automatically advanced frame-by-frame in the magazine by the camera winding mech-

anism and consequently only when attached to the camera body. Therefore when separated, the

magazine and camera body could become unmatched. This can be determined by checking the

magazine status indicator or by the winding crank status.
