120 Roll Film Database
Most medium format cameras (which are very big cameras compared to consumer
cameras today) use 120 roll film. This film format differs in size and
spool type from the cartridge films that are commonly used in 35mm and APS
film cameras.
As with film in general, 120 roll film has become scarcer in the digital
age. Some manufacturers have gone out of business, including AgfaPhoto
GmbH (2005), Konica Minolta Photo Imaging, Inc. (2007), and Fotokemica d.d.
(2007). Others have pared down their selection, especially of black and
white films and specialty films, such as infrared.
Since I still shoot with 120 roll film sometimes, I assembled this database
to keep track of the brands that remain in production. Hopefully other
photographers may find the information useful too.
