In order for the film to lay flat over the film gate, I taped narrow strips of used 35mm film at the top and bottom. The camera was designed to get 16 exposures, so there are two red windows, but with modern 120 film you get the printed numbers 1-16, so winding on is easy. You can ignore the second window and just use the first. There is a slight overlap between exposures, but nothing irksome. I have tried to jerry-rig a take-up spool using a 120 spool but decided that it's more trouble than it's worth. Like you, I uase the 116 take up spool and unload the film in a changing-bag. The Agfa Clipper Special is of sturdy metal construction--no pinholes to worry about--and the only limiting factor is a top speed f 1/100.Adam Faircloughnoreply@blogger.com
