Our Medium Format Film Collection

Medium Format : Higher Resolution

Medium format 120 film was introduced by Kodak over 120 years ago and produces higher resolution images than 35mm, allowing for bigger prints and smoother gradation. The larger size also allows better control of the depth of field and thus the opportunity for photographic creativity.

Facts about Medium Format Film:

120 film is larger than 35mm and the number of exposures varies depending which camera you are using. For instance, a camera that shoots 6x4.5 will produce 16 exposures whereby a camera that shoots 6x9 will produce 8 exposures.

Kodak originally introduced the 120 format for its Brownie No. 2 back in 1901.

Medium format film produces higher resolution and more detailed images, has a greater dynamic range, better tonality and smoother gradients - making it ideal for fine art photography, studio work, and landscape photography.

120 was originally intended for amateur photography but has since become a staple for professionals.

The backing paper of 120 film includes frame number markings for three standard image formats: 6x4.5, 6x6 and 6x9. This allows photographers to use the same roll of film in different cameras with varying frame sizes.
