There is no 120 roll film too thin for a properly adjusted Rolleiflex. It
is actually film plus TAPE that causes the film to be sensed. A company
using very thin film would also have to use very very thin tape in order to
fool the Rolleiflex film feeler. This is not likely to happen. Unless the
feeler is way out of adjustment.
