Another 1950s beauty, liberated for a couple of dollars from a charity store junk pile!
This roll film (620 size) camera predates Holga, Diana, and even Prince Charles!
To use 120 film, you must file down the plastic 120 spools as you can see here with the two,
or totally respool the film onto spare 620 spools (one standing). Either way, you will
be rewarded with quirky, medium format 6x9 negatives.
On another note, the books you see as part of the picture are also from thrift stores.
A 1944 first edition of Charleston studies, and a very interesting book from MOMA with
100 full page images, and 100 opposite pages of commentary about them. The MOMA book
is probably available via internet search for around 10 dollars! (The author, a great
photographer in his own right, was the former director of MOMA, and only recently passed away.)
