Hello Ken: 220 film has paper at the beginning of the roll and at the end of the roll only, film does not have paper back and then the roll thickness is similar regarding 120 film despite it is about twice longer, it allows that the Rollei film advance mechanism works for 220. Talking about the Rolleicord, the paper start guide has two marks, the first one for "special equipment" and the second one for "standard cameras", you need to choose the second mark aligning the arrows with the camera body red dots, after to shut the camera back, you advance the film up to the number one and operate the camera as always, the 'cord film advance knob becomes light in comparison with 120 film due to the film paper back lack. After you took the frame 12, _before to advance the film_, you need to open the camera back in complete darkness, a film changing bag or even a bed with a thick blanket (if you are careful) could be useful; with the counter in zero you advance the film up to the number one again and Bob is your uncle as Marc writes. It's necessary to wind up the roll completely before to open the camera back of course, it is specially significant with 220 film. For the Rolleiflex the only procedure difference is that you have the automat film feeler mechanism to start the film, you don't need to align the start paper, you load the film like for 120. BTW, the conjunction between paper, tape and film start for this TXP is thinner than for any 120 film, I hope my 'flexes detect the film start. Thank you for your opinions Ken.
