I've been meaning to have a go at this for a while now, 35mm in medium format cameras. The landscape orientated shots with the golf ball like light leaks are from my 1933 rodenstock clarovid and the portrait shots from my 1935 rolleicord. Whats evident to me from these photos is the huge character that these old lenses possess, even with massive light leaks, dodgy exposures and less than perfect focusing. Laughably when shooting the rollei i forgot that my shots would be in portrait, so the frames are missing most of what i composed for! but miraculously I'm still quite happy with a couple of the compositions. If you have any of these old cameras lying around i urge you to have a go at this because its a great fun and not too difficult to load the film if you have a changing bag. Pulverantalists challenge for september guys? @captainfantastic @heliosstardeath @metaluna @sandersoftheriver @stereograph @lomodesbro .

wow, i love these pics!
if i may ask you: how to load a 35 mm film into a medium format camera? is there tipsters around for this? i often thought about trying that :D

@lalouve its totally easy.
tape the end of the 35mm around the 120er spool as a sling!
so you don't have problems with vertical alignment later.
and fix the cannister with sponge parts in place
or use a pair of theese fancy 3d printed boobles.
don't forget to tape the back of the cam with tons of tape,#
to avoid leaks, or don't! :-))

@stereograph I did message her privately with a tutorial:) my method is similar but I didn't bother with the sponge. Also had to take the film completely off the canister as it was too big to fit in the film compartment which meant using another 120 spool and a bit of fiddling around in the changing bag. Thanks.
