MF Backs or Cameras which allow rewinding?

[maurice_bryant]

Is there a medium format back, or camera which will allow you to

rewind the film and re-shoot a frame?

[russell_britt]

You can`t rewind 120 film as its only taped to the paper on one end, you can always remove the back ,use a different back and then put the first one back on the camera to shoot a double exposure. Is this what you are after?

[david_goldfarb]

I don't know of any camera in any format where multiple exposure involves rewinding the film. Different cameras will do this in different ways. One way with a removable back is to take the first exposure, remove the back, cock the shutter, replace the back, and take the second exposure (lather, rinse, repeat).

If you want double/multiple exposures, most cameras will let you disable the winder or switch to multiple exposure mode (Rollei <g> ).

A little more detail:

 

I am trying to think of ways to make my own 35mm back to put

onto a MF camera, say an RB 67, and hopefully save the cash

that it would cost to buy a camera AND an expensive back. I was

thinking that if the film could be re-wound, I would just have to

make a mask, and maybe part of a spool to hold the 35mm

canister in place.

I don't think it's going to be that easy, Maurice. Why was it that you wanted to shoot 35mm film in an RB67? That would make for one heck of an awkward 35mm camera.

If your planning on using 35mm film then you will be better off using it in a decent 35mm camera. Why have all that MF camera,lens, finder etc when your only using 1/3 of the image coming thru the lens. Kinda like having a Cadilac with a VW engine. Can be made to work but it wont go very fast.

 

If you really wanta use 35mm in a MF then get a 35mm back.

[maurice_bryant]

I guess I'm trying to squeeze two cameras out of one. I've considered a Bronica S2A (135 N/W back), and a Rollei TLR (with a Rolleikin), but I'd like to get 6/7 SLR.

?? Mask your viewfinder or get an architectural screen to give you the proportions of a 35mm film view. Creating a back is a waste of money and time. You might want to try a darkslide that is cut on one side for a 1/2 horizontal frame exposure. Turn it upside down in a 6x6 camera where you can double expose for the second shot. You will need a whole slide to take the back off. 6x4.5 is the same proportionally (1:1.5) as 35mm film.

Very old thread but a friend of mine used to do double exposures on medium format film by shooting the entire roll,

winding it up and in a dark bag rewinding it on the original core. Not very precise but he got better at it the more he did it.
