Whether or not a person knows this piece of information has nothing to do with intelligence. I believe I am more than minimally intelligent, and I didn't know this because I have never wanted 120 film so never checked to see where it is sold.
I posted to undeceive anyone who may have believed what the OP wrote.

In fact, of the 54 listings, only Kodak films are not offered in single rolls.

You could have posted the exact same information without the personal insult. I was in the middle of composing a similar message when I saw yours.

I tend to stick with Kodak films. In 120 format, I've been shooting both Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ektar 100, but I don't think you find those anywhere in less than 5-roll packs.

Then you should have just pointed out the OP's error, and not suggested anyone who didn't know was lacking in intelligence.

This post is simply rude and uncalled for. No need for this on UHH.

I've shot CineStill, but not in 120 and not in about 20 years as 35mm. It's really nice, unique film. You have a lot of options at B&H, cheaper than $14 / roll, but not individual rolls that I noted.
I consider myself quite intelligent, having done pretty well in college. But I did not know this. Thanks for the information. Now I can die knowing that I know everything.

I have difficulty in buying just one roll of 120mm color negative film. I tried B&H and Adorama in NYC.

How about taking your minimum intelligence and finding a single roll of color negative 120 film at B and H.

Sad that the OP was flamed for asking for information. If I knew everything there was to know, and thought every other intelligent person did as well, there would be no point in joining this group. When I have a question, I ask. This is as good a place as any for straightforward, and not so straightforward, questions about photography.
I have a Yashica A and found it to be a simply delightful camera. But I gave up shooting film some time ago. I also have a Kodak Hawkeye camera that takes 620 film and captures eight 2.5" x 3.75" images per roll. 620 film is even harder to get than 120, but if you have a couple of 620 spools you can make 620 film out of 120. Just don't send the film to the lab with its 620 spool.
I guess I've said enough to brand this post as flame bait. Let's see who bites.

On eBay, it is fairly easy to find single rolls of 120 film. A few years expired perhaps, but good enough to test a camera.
