Intrepid Super 120 System

Sometimes sheet film isn’t the right tool for the job, perhaps a smaller negative is ideal for the project you’re working on, or you want the convenience of shooting multiple pictures without carrying lots of equipment. or maybe you just want to experiment with techniques that a dedicated medium-format camera just can’t do. This is where roll-film comes into its own: compact, readily available, and high-quality.

There are a variety of roll-film backs available for Graflok cameras. Many are expensive and others are hard to get hold of; with no guarantee on the longevity of second hand units. Only a handful allow you to shoot different aspect ratios, so you’re committed to one format. Got a 6x6 back but want to try 6x9? You’ll need to buy another back.

At Intrepid, our commitment is to making analogue photography as accessible as possible. We could’ve designed six different backs and sold them separately, but that’s not what we’re about. We want our products to lower barriers of entry into the craft, which is why we’ve spent so much time developing a product that gives you options to explore. We chose to make the Super 120 a self-assembly kit, not only to keep it affordable, but to share the reward of making your own photographic equipment.

Building something gives you a first-hand understanding of how it goes together, why it works the way it does, and how to fix it yourself. We worked hard to make the build process enjoyable and straightforward, including snap-together features and pleasing tactile feedback.
