Is 220 film still being made?
« on: August 02, 2011, 11:54:20 PM »
I have long been a user of 120 film, but I just hooked up the autowinder to my Bronica, so 220 sounds more interesting to me know and I was wondering, do they still make it? My local camera store does not seem to carry it any more....

Hey Laura!
Yes, 220 is still alive and well.  I just finished a roll in my Yashica Mat.

Freestyle has it, Kodak Portra 400.  It's nice stuff.

I think Fuji are making Pro 160 in 220 still!

I have a nice little stock of expired 220 in the freezer.

Its hard to get B+W in it though  ???

That's the big issue.  I don't think anyone makes 220 b&w anymore.

I don't mind that 220 in B&W seems dead very much. Every experience I've ever had trying to load it on reels for self development made me wish I had just reloaded twice as much instead. Awesome for color though - someone else gets the load it.
