35mm and 120 film

Film Types

35mm film (small format) is the film usually shot, but we occasionally shoot a larger format such as 120 film (medium format). Look at the picture below to see the size difference. The larger size allows for reduced visual grain as the image is enlarged. 35mm and 120 film color negatives are pictured on the side.
