Is this compatible with 620 format film?
Is this compatible with 620 format film?
Yes, the Paterson Auto Load Adjustable Reel for Super System 4 Tanks can be used with 620 format film. 620 and 120 film is really the same size. Just that the frame size is different and the 620 format film is not a different size spool.

While the Patterson Auto Load reel is a pretty universal reel size Im not sure I would use it in a different tank system. Because its adjustable it might change or self adjust while being inverted in the tank and then the film could unspool. Best to use with the same kind of tank.
That said you could do a test roll and then see if it holds and doesn't release the film while processing.
I would not do that with a roll of work images until I had tested.

It should to the best of my knowledge, but I have never tried it, so I can't be certain.
