Orio,
Have you ever used 220 film in your P6?
Reason I ask is that with any luck, I should be the proud owner of a P6 tomorrow but I've also read negative comments about the 220 side of things so was wondering if it was best to stick with 120.
Thanks.
Bob |

I have never used 200 film on the P6, mostly for the reason that it's nearly impossible to find it here. I am also interested in trying it. Maybe we can share our experiences.

Thanks anyway Orio - I can get 220 here so I'll let you know.
I was just curious as to how the camera copes with a 24 exposure roll instead of 12, what with all the talk of frame spacing problems. |

I have not been able to solve the spacing problem in a consistent way. I have followed the tutorials that can be found online. The fact is, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes you just load a film not caring, and in the "traditional" way, and it works perfectly. Sometimes it does not.
I am beginning to think that it's mostly a casual problem, that can happen or not happen regardless of your precautions.
But the P6 feels so good in the hands and also on the shelf, that I will not be able to give it up. and framing a picture in 6x6 is just great. You never worrk about the landscape/portrait orientation.

Regarding the frame spacing, I've read that the P6 may have been designed around a thicker film stock than what we have now - Orwo, I think, and that better results can sometimes be obtained by increasing the diameter of the take-up spool. |

Really? Do they report any practical way to do that?

@ Orio:
Yes, all you do is wind a piece of gaffa tape around the hub of the spool.
I don't know if it works consistently or not though since the spacing issue doesn't seem to be consistent itself.
@ Cobalt60: So far over here in the UK I can get Provia and Velvia in 220 from at least one supplier albeit only in 5 roll packs. They're also around twice the cost of the same film stock 120 5 packs.
I have a few other suppliers that I need to check out though, as the above films are slide and it would be good to see if I can track down some colour negative and B&W. |
