Don’t think you need to wind it up to the first shot. Try to turn and hold the counter to 1 before you close the film back. Then you can just advance and shoot. I think it will work, but not sure if the film counter will increment or not. It will probably not increment.
APS film format cameras had a decent panoramic mode. Too bad they stopped producing it. Can you think of a medium format camera where using the adapters, you can roll the 35mm film back into the cartridge so you don't need a dark bag?
Using a 35mm spool really helps keeping the film aligned in the center ;) I shoot my Hasselblad like this sometimes. It's a fun way to change perspective.
I have a more sophisticated version of this adapter with a film plane plate and viewfinder mask. On the whole these are a waste of time and money. With no film plane plate, the 35mm film will curl, causing unsharpness. Setting for 220 will improve the sharpness at film center, but will not help the curl problem. Once the novelty wears off, this a rarely if ever used again. Better: load regular 120 film, compose for your desired panorama, and do your cropping in the printing process.
I couldn't agree more. I ve tried almost every single panorama method on Pentax 67, I was applying gently but at the end it crashed stg. inside the camera.
@@danielhanslik4112 Too true. I have a lingering curiosity as to whether it is possible to install a 35mm cartridge on the take-up side so that 35mm film would advance from one cartridge across the image frame and be taken up in a second cartridge. The advantage would be that you could change shot film in daylight rather than needing a bag or darkroom. (The film would not be attached to the supply-side cartridge, so at end of roll it would be fully taken up in the storage cartridge.) If I can get past my current medical issues and back inot photography, I may check that and post an update.
Showing how the adapter works would’ve been helpful
Nice video
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Nice video! Keep it up!!

If memory serves me right, the Mamiya 7 has a 35mm pano kit that has this function.

Use a paper lead not to waste so much film!!
How many shoots did you made with your technic of loading the film?

Unfortunately with cropping you're also wasting negative space. I feel like there's no good and inexpensive solution for this.

you still can use a viewfinder mask though for composing?
how to unload the film?
Will this work for the Pentax 67ii?
This made me regret selling mine :')
