This makes a difference as far as fog level is concerned. That's true, I'm sure, if the film base is different. I don't know, the times I've tried to load MF film on reels, it seems about as flimsy as 35mm film and drove me crazy! I swore off ever getting serious about MF. <G> You are right, I'm sure. > the 120 has paper backing. I don't know what this does. My guess is that the > 120 film may have higher contrast and resolution than the 35mm film. Paper backing allowes little windows on the film backs to show the writing on the back of the film without fogging the film. And there is less reason to have high-resolution and contast than 35mm film. That's a function of emulsion, and I don't think that's different. Lack of flare will make a difference, but I don't think base density would influece those two factors. -- Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
