Hi;

To get a Frontier to work with 120 film you would need to buy at least 1
carrier ( about $750 ea) you technically need on for 645, 6x6, and 6x7 [and
6x9 if desired] though you could just get a 6x7 carrier and use the free
cropping feature to crop to the smaller formats. You would have to set up
any 120 unique print sizes ( square anything, 4x5 etc) and I think you would
need to set up a 120 film channel, but I might be wrong on that. My guess is
that it is too much work for too little income addition for them to want to
do. Also if they are a chain, their home office might not let them do it if
they wanted. Also the 120 carriers are manual, so the negs or transparencies
must be advanced by hand 1 frame at a time. Unfortunately, if you have an
untrained operator running it you won't get the best results.

So, clearly the Frontier wasn't even meant to be used for serious 120
work.. that would explain why the lab is being so evil towards me in
regards to 120 work.
