I have a Mamiya C33 TLR which uses either 120 or 220 size rollfilm. The actual film sizes are the same, but 220 film takes twice as many shots because it is a larger roll. I have to switch out the backplate on the camera to accomodate the larger roll size. This is not a feature on all TLR's. Either of these film sizes are readily available at any camera store, on Ebay, or you can try B&H Photo on the internet. I know a few cheaper vintage TLR's used 620 film, which is not readily available any more, but you might be able to find a website that sells vintage film sizes. Try googling your particular model camera to see if there's a site with a free manual for it in PDF format. TLR's are very mechanical and it would be a good idea to see some instructions before attempting to use one.
