Sprockets

One of the reasons I started with a medium format film camera was the allure of “Sprocket Shots”, that is, exposing all of the film including the sprocket holes. The whole film is covered in emulsion so it can be exposed to light and then developed.

I 3D printed some adapters for 35mm film and a new take-up spool to keep the film centred.

After some initial research I also added a leader to the front of the film. If you add a leader of about 30cm, you can maximize the amount of shots you get from one roll of film.
