What is 220 Film?

When most people think of quality film cameras, they think about 35 mm. Medium format a step up in size and produces gorgeous pictures that are commonly everywhere from magazines to art galleries.

What is Medium Format

The first thing you notice about medium format is that it's big. Not only are the cameras physically larger, but so are the negatives. This gives you a greater light-gathering area on your negative film which allows for more detail and superior enlargements. Where a standard SLR has a frame size of 36 by 24 mm, these larger cameras can work with a variety of backs so long as the individual frames measure 56 mm in at least one dimension. Some popular options include:

  • 6 by 4.5: Roughly 6 by 7 cm, this format is rarely used unless you're looking to save film.
  • 6 by 6: Ansel Adams' favorite format, this produces quality square pictures that are popular in galleries.
  • 6 by 7: Perhaps the most flexible, this is also known as the "ideal" format.

How Does 220 Film Compare to 120 Film?

Most medium format cameras use either 220 film or a 120 film like Fujifilm Velvia. Both formats share the same physical height but differ in both construction and the number of pictures per roll. One of the quirks of medium format is the fact that there is no defined frame in the film itself, but instead, it's determined by the back and how much film is exposed at any one time. There are two major differences between 220 and 120 film.

  • Construction: Where 120 film is paper backed throughout, 220 has a paper leader and trailer. This makes it thinner but also means that you can fit 144 cm of film on a spool rather than 72 cm.
  • Exposure Count: Double the length means that a roll of Fujifilm 220 can produce twice as many pictures as 120. One catch here is that the exposures aren't numbered as there is no paper backing to mark them on.

Using 220

Using 220 is very similar to using 120 film, it's normally available in the same speeds and can usually fit the same cameras, but some do require a plate or movable setting in the back to deal with the thinner stock. While it's not quite as simple as a digital camera, a medium format with 220 film can open up an entirely new world of photography. Most of these cameras are mirrorless, and the large frame means you get more usable light out of the lens. It's not as simple as a point and shoot, but it's also going to give you larger and sharper pictures that simply aren't possible with smaller formats.
