I found my grandfather's old No.3 Kodak, aside from jumping the hurdle that 118 film doesn't really exist anymore so I'm using an adapter to use 120 no where near me develops film! So this is a huge help to me!
I've been looking for info on the backing paper everywhere, thank you! I was gifted a Kodak Tourist many years ago. I shot one roll of 620 on it in 2016/2017, and haven't developed it. I used to have CVS do my 35mm, since they just sent it out to Kodak anyways. Even though the 620 I have is also C41, they wouldn't touch it. Gave developing 35mm a shot last year, and it came out good. Now that i have a visual of how the backing paper comes off, I will give my roll of 620 a shot! Thanks!
Interesting to see that with the Blix you also get leakage ! 😢 I have three different tanks, no problems with b&w chemistry, with cinestill c41 always a mess with blix ! Is it normal ? Could find nothing about this, your video is the first I see hinting this may be normal!
@@film_friends How do you explain then that some labs develop 35mm and not 120? I understand that the B&W need different chemicals, but since you confirmed that for color film they use the same,i don't understand why not... Probably they dont have scanner for 120,but i told my lab,that i don't mind,i'll scan at home if that's the issue,but he told me that he has to use different chemicals...Anyway, in my area there is no film lab left,so i have to drive 100km to find one and now that i decided to shoot some 120 film,i saw that there is even less labs for 120... thank you for answering! You have a nice channel!
@@film_friends Thank you for the infos,cause i have bought a medium format and still waiting for it to arrive. Yes,i have in mind to try just for fun 35mm on it, for some panoramic shots.
Thanks for your question! You can keep it in the fridge and it should last a year or more “unexpired” and then it goes into expired range that it can have crazy features. But if you cold store it can last a long long time. You can even freeze it which should be indefinite?

Yess I just got a bunch of those adapters too! I’m gonna shoot with a cam like that soon!
Just developed my first roll with this video walking me through every step. Thanks so much for making this!
So glad!

THats really great. I am glad I could help! The backing paper can be a little tricky but you can feel the difference
Exceptionally high quality video, thankyou.
Glad I could help
Good tutorial. I probably will try saving a step by opening up the film reel first.
Always good to cut the time down
had to subscribe, this vid is that good
so glad i could help
Super helpful, thanks!
Glad I could help
THANK YOU SIRRRRRR IVE ALREADY FUKKED 5 ROLLS TILL I FINALLY FOUND YOUR VID THANKSSSSSSS A MILLION
im so glad i could help!
Love it! Just got a newer vivitar 35mm camera and some film so I soon I'll be getting some shots!
Yeah hey sounds so fun! I’d love to see them. Send them to me on IG!
@@film_friends once I shoot them and get them developed (still saving up to get the equipment to develop on my own) I'll send them over!
Coool!! Would love to see them
love the vids man helped me out with developing
Thats awesome! Im so glad i can help! check out the full lenth in depth one for more details if you need!
@@film_friends will do hope to see more fun and interesting vids
Thank you! I look forward to making them!

Yeah they leak, but I put some tape to help that
woah, this is so cool!
Thank you!
May I use cinefilm developing chemical for Ilford film rolls. And do I use rapid fixer after the developing chemical?
Cinestill is great.
I dont use that!
Thanks man!
Of course!!
Can you reuse the chemicals? Or should you get new ones every time you develop
Reuse up to 15 rolls
@@film_friends thank you!
Is it possible to load the film in a dark room instead of a dark bag?
completely dark. no lights
Is there any difference in the chemicals between 120 and 35 color film?
Not at all

@@athanasiospatsis7720 labs use machines and some dont invest in 120 sized machines.
home developing, the spool can expand to fit 35 or 120.

🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!!!
Cool Video but a little bit fast, i got what i wanted to know so no worries :D
I have a longer slow one, link in description
How long we can keep 120 film undeveloped?
