Ive got a bunch of 120 film cameras, from that era.
-
do you think it would fit in a six 20 model E ?

Very, very helpful. Thanks for making this.

Also, would you normally do this in a blacked out dark room? Do I need to get him a film changing bag?
and... :OD how do I know if I am buying the right 120 film?
This is so exciting but I have much to learn. Thanks in advance if you have time

Hello, thanks for sharing this video, it is very helpful.
My just bought a flash B for my Dad from the charity shop and I want to make sure I have everything he needs for it.
If you have time to answer my questions I would be grateful.
After watching this I am confused. There is a spool in the camera I have here but I assumed two were needed and I ordered another 620 but you only used one 620. If the 120 film fits in the camera as you did in the vid' why does it need to be re spooled?
-
where can I get the 620 spool?
-
oh my gosh, thanks!

What type of plant is that in the back ground?
Thanks de. Mom shot our childhood in the 50's with her Brownie. When I found one in great condition at a yard sale in the 70's for 50 cents, I bought it for the eldest, who was still young enough that this was his first serious toy! I was shooting with a Mamiya 645 at the time and just automatically loaded his new toy with one of my rolls. Didn't even check to see what type film the camera required, just look like it would fit. And it did.
The 7 yr old, and the next son got some great pics.

sadly not all brownies can fit 120, even on the top compartment. ;P Kodak discovered this when it came out (that 120 films could fit) so only the earlier models of Brownies can fit. bastards forcing us to buy 620 !
