HACO 44 TLR - is it 127 film I need?

I have just got hold of a HACO-44 TLR - a very attractive little thing, but not immediately useful because it will not fit 120 film.

It is supplied with a very skinny takeup spool, which is just big enough for film 47mm across - is this what used to be 127 size film? Does anybody in the UK still produce or provide it, or is there any other solution to the problem?

Also, any information on the camera would be gratefully received. It is a conventionally-shaped TLR, 'Made in Japan', with Hacor 60mm lenses.

In the UK try E&S Caswell. Freepost NH0357, Rushden, Northants, NN10 9BR (106040.32@compuserve.com)for Croatian B&W. In the US try B&H Photo-Video for Croatian B&W and Ektachrome 100s.

Hello Nick..

Perforated and unperforated B&W and Colour 46mm film in long rolls are listed in Kodak and Fuji catalogs and websites.

For home loads you need to collect spools and leaders/backers. Check for processing labs or get a processing spool. An adjustable plastic reel can be regrooved to a 46mm width.

There was an article Last year in Shutterbug about sources for obsolete film formats.

Good luck..

I understand the Jessop chain in the U.K. sell the E&S 127 film.
