I have never tried using 120 film in this. I have read that for some cameras, you have to unravel the film from the 120 spool and re-roll it onto the 620 spool, but for other 620 cameras, the 120 spool will work as it is. I don’t know which category this camera falls into.
As far as cleaning your camera, if it’s just a dirty lens you’re talking about, you might try a small amount of lens cleaning fluid on a cloth or Q-tip, or a pre-treated lens cleaning cloth, although some people actually like the effect that a dirty lens has on their pictures.
I’ve got one, John, with quite a bit more time it than yours. In other words, yours looks like a real clean camera!. I put 35 mm film in mine, and take wack-o panoramas.
I just picked this camera up at a flea market for $8….I was hoping I had made a good find However, I would have been content to just have it as a wonderful collectible! Thanks for the great photo!
I’ve shot 120 in mine. My camera looks just like this one, too, just less pristine. But I don’t recall if I respooled onto the 620 reels or not. I think I probably did. I do it all the time — just do it!
Well, don’t be scared of respooling. However, I must admit, the photos were pretty uninteresting and I haven’t shot with the camera again. So while I’m an advocate of using 620-cameras, I wouldn’t necessarily vouch for this model.

I have this camera without flash. How should I clean it? I’ve read some people use 120 film in these, have you ever tried it?
like little luggage
what year did this come out?

It was introduced in December of 1940.
Good shot of an interesting camera. Can’t say I’ve ever seen one before. Thanks!
never seen one of these before.

Oh I have to try that!
This looks very similar to my 620 bulls eye. In fact the wind knob is the same.

So you’re saying I should do it? ;o)

Anyone know what the effective f# and shutter speed of the Kodak Six-20 is? Thanks!
