FCK127 Mk.III kit - how to cut 120 film to 127 film format and roll it on a 127 spool - by CAMERHACK
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
FCK127 is a complete kit that cuts 120 film to the sizo of 127, and rolls it onto a 127 film spool. FCK127 is light-sealed, so you can (with some precautions) go through the entire process in light. As a result of cutting 120 to 127 format, you will also get a leftover film that is 16mm unperforated film.
NOTE: This is the 3rd version of the kit.
KIT’S COMPONENTS
the box used with different components in both cutting and respooling
the shaped ruler to cut the initial part of the paper with the two ends that will hook the two spools
the cutting module (which slits the 120 film into two strips, one of 127 and one of 110 *)
the knob (to rotate the 120 take-up spool while cutting)
the winding module (which wraps the two parts in two separate spools, the 127 and one of 16mm)
2 feeders for 120 spools (insert it into the 120 spool’s shaft slot to engage the two film’s tails)
2 clips for the 120 roll (keeps the film wrapped while you prepare it and insert it in the box)
The kit does not include empty 127 spools. You will need two 127 spools: one for loading in the kit and the other is the take-up spool in the camera. The kit works with metal 127 spools: plastic ones may break. You’ll aslo need an empty 120 spool for the initial cutting process.
Cutting and Spooling happen in two different phases. The box will be fitted with the slitting modules for the first round. When the cutting is done, other components will be used in the box to respool the film onto the 127 spool. You will also need a sharp pencil or pen, scissors, adhesive tape.
1: Cut the 120 film in two strips: 127 + 110.
2: Respool the 127 film on a 127 spool
3: Finish, and load it into the camera
All of these steps are explained in details in this video.

Fantastic! Just ordered one. Having some extra 16mm unperforated film will be handy for reloading my subminiature 16mm cameras, and I’m looking forward to shooting my 127 cameras more!
Thank you. I will be rolling some E100 for my Yashica LM 44. Happy bunny.
wow. Genius! I want one.
Ciao Davide, Complimenti! Un netto miglioramento nel design della "scatola oscura". Ho notato che hai aggiunto delle "guide" per contenere i rocchetti 120. Anche la taglierina ha avuto un netto miglioramento. Io continuo a farti propaganda ne gruppi di amati del 127 in FB.

Grazie mille, Mauro! Rispetto alla prima versione tutti i componenti sono cambiati, anche grazie ai suggerimenti degli utilizzatori.
Do you have link to download this?
Ce découpeur fonctionne parfaitement. Je l'utilise beaucoup. Maintenant la lame coupe moins bien. Est il possible changer la lame ? Si, oui, comment ? et quelle lame utiliser ?
Nice video! Can we see the numbers of film correctly through the red window? My 127 film camera has the red windows on back, so..

Hello. It depends on the camera. I have three different 127 cameras, and they all have the red window in different positions. I suggest that you cut a small part 120 backing paper like my cutter does, and check in your camera if the markings are visible.

Can you sell these on eBay? If you made an eBay listing I would happily buy one in a heartbeat
i dont need tractable charge, i want cheaper charge. but in that website, have to pay more expensive tractable shipping cost. there are no another option. dont know why
I am afraid the design of this device is suboptimal. There is a reason roll film is only taped at one end. This is to allow for the creep effect that is caused by spooling, pushing the film forward while it is being rolled, thus resulting in the film end moving by 10-20mm. If the film is also taped at the end, it is not allowed to move this distance which in turn causes it to deflect from the base. This is why it is not tight when you've passed it through the respooling step, and this effectively results in uneveness when it is rolled through the camera, which can cause loss of sharpness.

HELLO, Thank you for your comment and SORRY FOT THE LATE REPLY. Yes, I know this is a problem, and this is why some photographers prefer to manually roll the film onto the 127 spool after it's been cut. You would need a dark changing bag and some practice, but it's doable and leads to better results in less forgiving (more pro) cameras. On the other hand the respooler makes things easier, especially for beginners. It is an option, and many find it useful. Nevertheless, it is possibile to get the cutter without the respooler for those who prefer to manually respool the film. Regards :)
