Loading up 120 film is a lot more tricky than 35mm, and the winder on the Pentax 6x7 has a lot more resistance than I anticipated. Took a while to figure out while the shutter wouldn’t fire. I think it works, but only one way to find out.

@Gargron are you developing yourself? ... because loading the 120 film on a spindle is also an adventure in the beginning 😂 Lennart, do people even develop color film at home? I was always told that it's impractical because the chemicals for color photography need their temperatures precisely controlled |
@Gargron maybe I've just gotten used to it but to me 120 doesn't have a lot of the frustrations that 135 has given me since I was a kid. I appreciate that I don't have to use special tricks (that only work on certain cameras) to get the maximum photos out of the roll and still end up wasting some film. 220 on the other hand... that's the worst of both worlds.
