was just wondering if you had any difficulty getting the full frame of what you were shooting onto the film with it modified this way? I had been thinking of modifying an old 620 spool to hold the 35mm in place but was concerned about heads getting chopped off. any suggestions appreciated :)
i've not really had a problem but i've kept in mind that what ends up on film will be different/narrower than what i see in the viewfinder. to be safe, you could put pieces of tape on the sides of the viewfinder, representing a narrower width of film. (i think now of the cameras that allow you to switch between normal and panoramic views. when you switch to pano, you slide a lever and panels come up inside the camera making the amount of film exposed much narrower. --in this case, the viewfinder would be cropped a bit.)
my only other bit of advice would be that you don't need to bother with modifying the 620 spool. that sounds like a lot of work. You'll need one for the film takeup (but a trimmed 120 spool might work as well here), but once you put the 35mm cartridge in the supply side, it should stay in place. I always cut the film leader and tape the end of the film onto the take up spool. If you are concerned about the supply side shifting, you can cut up a pink foam curler and place a piece on each side of the 35mm cartridge. It's a cheap fix and it's worked really well for me.
