what's even easier is taping your own 35mm film to some 120 backing paper beforehand. this way you can load and unload just like 120. next time you take some 120 to the lab ask them to return the spool and paper backing with the film. this way you don't have to worry about the read window either.

That sounds also good. But I can't imagine where I have to place the paper in the camera? Behind the 35mm spool?

it's pretty simple. take a roll of 120 in the dark and feel around to findout where it starts on the backing. measure this from the start of the spool (someone online may already have this measurement recorded). take some 35mm and pull the film all the way out of the canister (in the dark) and cut it off so you have a free length of film that's not tethered to anything. now tape it to your empty paper backing and roll onto a 120 spool. after a few times you'll get it down. no need to waste $30 on a stupid adaper.

a jacket often will make a half-decent impromtu changing bag. you might try that if you have that problem again.

@whickus: thanks for the quick answer.
Your method need also a darkroom. And thats (for me) the annoying or complicated part!!!
With the method that I found you wind the 35mm film from one container into another 35mm container. And so you can handle it in every situation you want. I made just a small adapter from a piece of round wood by myself. It tooks 20min.
Maybe tomorrow I will post the makin of the adapter. Its quite easy...

I've done the rolling up part, not shot it yet though.
I only had 36 exposure film so I didn't unwind the whole roll (just as much as filled the 120 paper.
Then I put the remainder of the roll in a regular 35mm camera and shot it as a short (12 or so exposures) roll.
I did all this with black and white so I could develop my own - so need to try to feed the strip back into the canister.

Yes it needs a darkroom, but not when you remove the roll.
You can prepare some rolls in advance then load/unload your camera as normal (still under subdued lighting of course).
I'd like to see your adapter details anyway, it's always good to have options. :-)

Look into getting a changing bag. It's portable.

even your method requires a darkroom. think about it - the 35mm film is taped to the spool inside the feeding canister. you still have to wait until you can find a light proof area to open the back and cut it off the original spool or you'll lose your last shot. also, unless you prepare all these feeding and take up canisters before you go out, you'll be messing with it every time you change film.
with the method i described you take a few minutes before hand to prepare some rolls, then you can shoot and change out rolls all day in the sunlight, just like 120. hell, make 20 of 'em in one shot. you'll be set for a while and you'll be a master of handy work in the dark. the dark's not that scary after all.

My wife has a changing bag and has never had any problem when respooling or winding film in it. They are very portable as well. You just fold them up, throw them in your backpack and when you need it you pull it out, put your camera in it, zip it up and unload/spool your film. Very simple. Plus they are relatively cheap - typically 15 to 30 bucks (depending on the size of the bag).
