#KODAK VOLLENDA 620 WITH CASE FULL#
Others have suggested that one of those cameras that were both 120 and 620 compatable, such as several British-made folders from the 50s, can be used to wind on a 120 full reel onto an empty 620 blank reel, and then just reverse things onto another blank 620 reel.
#KODAK VOLLENDA 620 WITH CASE PLUS#
Some of our Group members reckon it's easier to go another route, and just rewind the 120 film inside a 620 reel's backing paper in a darkroom - but for that, you first need that precious strip of backing paper in good condition, not to mention a darkroom, plus a 620 spool. So even that easiest normal solution of 'nibbling' away at the wider flanges on 120 reels with nail cutters to get them down to 620 flange dimensions, is difficult and requires a fair bit of post-surgery careful filing to get the now-reduced diameter flanges to rotate smoothly without binding or jamming. Basically, it's not as easy to do for the Duo 620 as it is for some other cameras designed for 620 film, due to cramped space. It is based on the 'Sunny 16' rule.įilm is so forgiving and will produce acceptable results even when overexposed by 2 or 3 stops or underexposed by 1 stop.I guess I should also add that the matter of modifying 120 reel film to 620, has been brought up before in the Yahoo Duo 620 Group's files. If you don't want to bother with an exposure meter, follow the guide shown, using shutter speeds are 1/25s, 1/50s and 1/100s only. It is possible to cut down a spool of 120 film to fit or to re-spool some 120 film onto 620 spools in a darkroom or changing bag. Do not use 120 film in this camera because it will jam and may snap. The 620 spools are slightly shorter and have a smaller diameter. Although the actual film is the same as 120 film, the spools are different. This camera takes 620 film which is still available from selected photographic outlets. In 1936 the trim became chromium, and an optical finder replaced the frame type. The first version appeared in 1934 having nickel trim and a frame finder. Kodak Kodar Anastigmat f/6.3: 1935-1936 : Kodak shutter.
