Hi Anna. 120 films can be bought from several online shops depending on where you are. I would google 120 film. In US B&H Photo Video has a good selection. Good luck!

Hello, Toby — Your 150mm lens will be the equivalent of a 66mm lens on 35mm, with a 32 degree angle of coverage. The nice thing about using 6×9 is that the aspect ratio (the ratio of the short and long sides of the frame) is 2:3, exactly the same as 35mm. and visualizing the final image when switching formats is therefore pretty easy.
And, incidentally, if you’re still considering the purchase of a VH, I highly recommend it! I have one, and it sees a lot of use.
All the best — Bud

I am sorry Toby I cannot answer your question. But maybe you can find an online resource. Check this one for instance: https://photographylife.com/sensor-size-perspective-and-depth-of-field

Does anyone have an idea just what a 150mm lens for 9 X 12 gives when the film is reduced to 6 X 9 ?

Any replies gratefully received. Toby Madrigal.

Hi Julian. Thanks for visiting my site! I am not sure about VH-R focusing but I would assume that if you have a ground glass back for it then it should work for focusing without rangefinder. But you should check with the seller to be sure. Regarding the prism viewfinder yes it shows you the corrected view. I don’t use it so often but I should because it eliminates the need for dark cloth and loupe, and of course gives you a corrected image.

I would also consider buying a lightweight 4×5. There are a lot of 120 backs for 4×5 cameras. Some 4x5s are lighter than a VH-R and maybe even cheaper (Intrepid). There are two reasons I write this. First, your selection of lenses will be much larger. Second, you can buy and use panorama 120 backs, something you cannot on a VH. Good luck!

I have a couple of questions though. Most of the ones on eBay are the VH-R, can it be focused on the backscreen without using the rangefinder? 4×5 view cameras show the scene on the ground glass reversed top-bottom and left-right. The Bronica’s waist level viewfinder shows the scene flipped left-right but not top-bottom but using the prism viewfinder, it is corrected. Does your angled viewfinder correct the image?

Hi Cole. I installed thin seals along the upper and lower rails.These rails did not have seals on my camera and I am not sure if they originally had seals. But my copy had light leaks at the bottom and top of the frame and these disappeared after I added the seals. Hope this helps!
