127 format film

[Grandpa Ron]

I have a very nice 127 format twin lens reflex camera that I used to shoot "super slides" in the 1970s.

My question is, can you still by any kind of 127 film for this camera, particularly black and white.

It is a great camera and the slides fit the standard slide projectors.

I have seen it at film photography project but it appears it is currently out of stock. maybe shoot them an email. I think they come out with it every so often. 127 Film

I've seen it different places. B&H has it sometimes, EBay, and specialty shops. Supposedly you can use an old 127 roll and the paper backing from same. In the darkroom use 35 mm film and re-roll it in the paper.

Maco 127 film

Yup, that is what I thought, I have a room full of buggy whips and the model T is selling like hot cakes.

What a shame, it is a fine old camera.

I do like the idea of winding 35 mm film onto and old 127 roll.

Go for it! A couple a months ago I loaded a roll of 35mm into a 126 cartridge.
