Unique(?) 120/220 Issue with Pentax 645

Apparently the previous owner of my Pentax 645 partially converted the 220 film insert to shoot 120 (they flipped the little plastic doohickey inside that tells the camera whether to stop after 15 or 30 shots). I didn't know this until I tried to shoot some 220 today and the camera automatically wound to the end of the roll after 15 shots.

My question is this: can I just reload the film and shoot that same roll "backwards" until I get ~15 more shots, before developing?

Mir 1B 37mm/f2.8 on my K-1 Mark II

I've got some pretty weird glass cluttering up my drawers. This is one I had forgotten about for a number of years. Just playing around with it.

Pisa and Florence with the KP (watch out: many images)

Using the smallest grip and a trio of primes (DA15, DA35 and DA70) turns out to have been a truly good choice indeed!

Looking for a replacement bottom port cover or leather half-case for Pentax Q10 (melted cover)

Hi everyone! Thought I’d try my luck here. The heat in my city ended up melting the bottom port cover (where the mini-USB connects) on my Pentax Q10.

I was wondering if anyone happens to have a spare cover for sale, or maybe a protective body case/half-case that covers that area? I used to have a custom leather case that protected it, but it wore out over time.

Appreciate any leads or help!
