When I shoot mediaum format, I prefere using 220 films. It is just becase I do not have to change rolls very often, especially when I am using slide films with a lot of bracketings. I take a lot of street photos. It is a little awkward to change rolls on the street frequently. 

My 2.8F does not take 220 films.
I found on Mr. Harry Fleenor's web site that he does 120/220 modification. <http://www.rolleirepairs.com/220mod.html>www.rolleirepairs.com/220mod.html This sounds good for a lazy guy like me. 

Has anybody had this modification? Any opinions about pros and cons?
Yup. Harry is a grand person and he is a true gem, a pearl beyond price. I had him do my first 2.8F a decade or so back and it worked perfectly until I swapped it to BD Colen several years back. I since have gotten a 2.8F 12/24 and Harry's modification works every bit as well as does the factory version.
