Response to Separating paper backing from 120 roll film

from Peter Schauss (schauss@worldnet.att.net)
Thanks for all the responses. It turned out that the hardest part was tearing the tape which keeps the exposed roll from unrolling. I found that the paper cover is longer by about two or three frames at each end of the roll. I used a pair of scissors to cut the front end of the film away from the tape which holds it to the paper cover. After that, threading it onto the reel was the same as for 35mm.

After I run off a few prints tonight, I will find out how much of a bargain that $45 Yashica A really was. (Of course, by the time I am done buying a 90mm lens, second lens board, and 6x6 negative carrier I will be out considerably more than the cost of the camera. :-) ).
