What is the difference between 120 and 220 film?

120 and 220 film are almost the same except 220 is twice longer. Unlike 120 film, which typically provides 12 or 16 exposures, 220 film offers 24 or 32 exposures, making it ideal for photographers who want to maximize their shooting capacity. However, because of its longer length, 220 film requires cameras with specific film backs designed to accommodate the larger number of frames.

Some labs are kind enough to charge the same fee for processing 120 and 220; in that case, it is more economical to shoot 220 film.
