Found these at an old antique shop. The shutters work and all is well, I can't wait to get some film in these bad boys!   The Duaflex had an exposed roll of fill in it, can't wait to see what it is when developed! She came apart nice, all cleaned up and ready to go.  The SIX-20 still has film loaded in it! I always wanted to take pics on old film.  The Brownie need a bit of cleaning and one of the viewers needs to be fixed, but that will have to wait till the film is used. The shutter works as well as the winder... | ||

Finding 620 film can be hard. I think B&H and maybe film for classics might have it. You might be able to cut down the 120 film spools so that the end of the spool still fits. | ||

Cool! Ya think the old film will be good enough to develop? That would be extra cool. | ||

Finding 620 film can be hard. Nope, B&H has it readily available. I have bought many a roll from them. You might be able to cut down the 120 film spools so that the end of the spool still fits. Nope you just re-roll from the 120 spool to the 620 spool As for developing the film, I haven't a clue. But I always wanted to buy old film an try. This saves me a step LOL Barker, There were a few good brownies left if you want me to get one for you, they were Hawkeyes though not Targets. But the Hawkeye still takes awesome pics.    | ||

"as for developing the film, I haven't a clue." Years ago I printed photos from my Mum's box Brownie. I used to develop and print a lot of 35 mm B/W back then For developing the negs (film) I used a 35 mm multiple neg developing tank. its about 4 inches diameter and 4 inches tall with a screw on lid and another light trap cap for developing fluid entry and exit, I can not recall if I made spacers to hold the 620 film but I just developed it like 35 mm B/W And as the negs are so large, I placed the neg on top of the photo paper and just did contact prints. It all worked out OK. | ||

I have tanks so I can start developing my own. I was referring to Glitch's question about the vintage film in the cameras... (Message edited by spiderman on August 29, 2010) | ||

"Ya think the old film will be good enough to develop?" The first film I developed out of my mum's old camera had to be 20 years inside the camera. I just had to make a guess as to what ASA the film was to work out development time. It was a tiny bit underdeveloped but I was able to compensate for that in the printing | ||

just had to make a guess as to what ASA the film was to work out development time That's when you develop by inspection. A very dark green safelight is used and you look at it about 3/4 of the way through the development. Very brief look and you should see images. After you have done a few you can tell if you need to really keep it in the soup far longer than you thought or get it out ASAP. | ||

See Ebay for Jobo roller-processing systems. Great for slides, B&W, prints. Chemies easy to get for B&W | ||
