Hi everyone,

I recently bought a roll of Fuji Neopan ASA 400 for my Holga.

Has anyone used this film? I thought there were only 12 exposures.
But when the Frame Counter window is set to '16,' I'm seeing '1'... so
I'm figuring that there are 16 exposures.

I just want to make sure this is all correct -- that there are 16
exposures -- before I try and open up the back and, somehow, put the
6x4.5 mask in there.

Also, because I think I may be confusing myself... For example, if
there are 12 exposures, the frame counter window arrow should be
pointing at '12,' right? Not 16.

Thanks. Sometimes, something so simple can be made harder by
overthinking it...

It's both. If you use 6x6cm it's 12 frames, if you use a 6x4.5cm mask,
it's 16 exposures. You choose, the film is the same.

Yep. When using 6x6, let it poing at 12 and read the frame numbers in
the middle. When using 6x4.5 mask, let the arrow point at 16.
