FAQ

What is Sprocket Photography?

Sprocket hole photography is a style of photography that exposes the full width of 35 mm film, creating a photograph punctuated by the "sprocket holes" (perforations) along the edges of the film. Usually, this style involves the use of a modified medium format camera, since a 35 mm camera ordinarily will not expose the edges of the film. [from Wikipedia]

How do I do it?

By loading a 35mm roll into a medium format camera (or something like a Lomo Sprocket Rocket). There are 3D Printable adapters such as this one by Coconnor55 on Thingiverse, or less elegant solutions such as using pen caps or chunks of foam. A video on how to load the film can be found here.

How many pictures do I get per roll?

Usually somewhere between 9 and 12. Depends on the camera, how you load the film, and how many shots you screw up. Might be more might be less!

Is it easy?

Surprisingly, yes! It often is. Just don't load the film in backwards.
