Hey guys. I just won an auction for a Brownie Six-20 (Model E) on ebay. It cost me $5.50AU... I haven't got the camera yet - but I have read up & I need 620 film for it... Anyone know where I can get some?
Ebay has some stuff - all mostly very out of date... (I found one for 3 rolls from 1953)
Do you think it would still be okay? I am not too worried about if the colours would be funny or anything like that, as I have actually been thinking about buying some old film to get an old look...
What would you say the limit would be?
I have found some sites on the net that say that you can use 120 film if the top is shortened... And I have found some places that sell it... Generally around US$5 (about $8-$9AU)... Now thats not too bad... But then theres the postage. Which I have worked out to be around $20. Which bumps a roll of film up to about $30... That's pretty expensive for films...
Anyone have any ideas on what to do? Or know of anywhere in Australia that might sell 620 film?
Thanks!
