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.

Abbreviations: Min and Max EI (exposure index) refer to the manufacturer's recommended limits for pull and push processing, respectively. Under the "4x5" column, "O" means that the film is also available in 4x5 sheet format.
