My guess is that most 120 sales these days go to Holgas, which need the
paper backing.
Virtually all pro use of 120 has migrated to digital.
I agree that twelve images just fly by.

They didn't offer and I didn't ask.  I actually was there only to inquire
if
Fuji still made 220 roll film. They don't. Pity.  That's what I always
used
in my Rollei 6008i and two Mamiya 7s.  Looks like it's down to a choice
between Portra and Portra and I don't shoot color negative film. How sad.
