  Whoa. The Sputnik won't work with 220 film.
There's no paper backing in the middle (film section)
of the roll. Thus a red window camera will fog
the film totally.

  I suppose you could leave the red window closed
and go by knob turns to guess where to stop. But
I doubt you could get the maximum number of shots
on the film since you'd have to leave a big gap
for safety.

  Also the plane of focus won't be quite right,
since 120 with its paper backing is thicker than
the film-only 220.
