620 Film
620 film is a medium format roll film, similar to 120 film but on a smaller, thinner spool, making it incompatible with 120 film cameras. Introduced by Kodak in 1931 as a proprietary format, 620 film was primarily intended for use in Kodak's own cameras, such as the Kodak Six-20 and Brownie Target models. Although Kodak discontinued production in 1995, the film is still available from some specialty companies, and existing 620 cameras can be used by respooling 120 film onto 620 spools. Notable cameras that used 620 film include various Kodak Brownie models, the Kodak Tourist, and the Kodak Duaflex. While Kodak discontinued 620 film production in 1995, many vintage 620 cameras remain functional. Enthusiasts can continue using these cameras by: Purchasing newly manufactured 620 film from specialty companies, like the Film Photography Project. Respooling 120 film onto a 620 spool, which requires a darkroom or changing bag. Trimming the flanges of a 120 spool to fit the 620 camera.
