Nope. I've seen some good photos with the 35mm in the 120 but... that did not happen here. I don't think I've seen attempts with the adapter. I don't know if that was the issue but... this was not a success. Maybe I'll square-one with just the default lens.

I'm all for lofi and all that (obviously, I wouldn't be using this) but this is too far.

Just a guess, but it looks like the film was not being held perfectly flat in the focal plane.  Unless the film is perfectly flat, some things will be out of focus.

Oh I fully acknowledge that as a possibility now that you bring it up. I just have no idea how I'd remedy it. It's already a pretty rinky dink diy affair in there with the 35mm adapter and taping the film to a 120 spool and all that. I don't know how I'd make a pressure plate or something to help with it as Holgas are already pretty crap to begin with.
