I remember the last 620 made we could buy for resale was Kodak Gold 200 C-41.

Nice! My husband has been spending more time with these old Bakelite styles than his Rolleis lately. He's even rolled 120 film onto 620 spools, even though there is a decent amount of 620 film available.

I roll my own for my Argus 75. :pimp:

Pic is the 4th (?) in the collection. (Minolta is in the display case).

One of my favorite shots with a Argus 75, St. Louis Court House -1988. Kodak VR-G 400, cropped to 16x20.
I "dangled" off a hotel roof for that shot....LOL

My favorite 620 camera to use is my Foldex 20 which can accept 120 spools as well, hence the "20".

Are you sure Scotty you weren't doing James Bond-esque hanging-out-a-helicopter kinda stuff?!! LOVE that photo!

Love the folders, love the box cameras, love 'em all.

Haven't had a chance to catch FPPs podcast yet though.

Thanks cgw for sharing that, film and folder lovers unite!!

The FPP crew is quirky, funny and smart. They peddle lots of offbeat, respooled film not seen elsewhere.
