35mm vs 120 Film: Which Should You Choose?

Choose 35mm for portability, higher frame count and quick shooting. Choose 120 for larger negatives, detail and medium-format rendering.

Neither format automatically makes a stronger photograph. The camera, lens, exposure and subject still matter.

What to know

  • Camera size and weight
  • Frames per roll
  • Negative area
  • Film and processing cost
  • Print size and grain
  • Working speed

Development and scanning

Both formats support multiple film processes. Medium-format scanning must account for the camera’s frame dimensions.
