| + | [[620 film|620 rollfilm]], introduced by [[Kodak]] in 1932, is basically the same as [[120 film|120 rollfilm]]; it has the same width and length. The only difference is the [[spool]] which holds the film, in case of the 620 roll the center of the spool is smaller than that of 120 roll. A lot of older cameras use 620 film although it's possible in some to use 120 rollfilm too. |

| + | It's still possible to use this type of camera if you have the spools ( 2 pieces). You can easily rewind the 120 film on the 620 spool and still use it in the camera. Just search the internet on "respooling 620 film" for instructions. 620 film can still be bought at specialized webshops but they are rather expensive. |

| + | NOTE: If you don't do your own processing you have to ask to have your spools back otherwise the photolab will toss them away!! |
