Analogue With Reed | A 620 Exposure
🕑 Added 2019-04-02 18:54:27 +0000 UTCThat is absolutely right. I did not miskey the title. A 620 exposure. A dead film format? Absolutely not. 620 film is actually the same exact size as 120 film in width and height, the only difference is the spool size. Kodak originally made 620 film thinking it would be the new widely accepted medium format, but they were wrong. Everyone basically said 'Why are you doing this, we do not like it, stop.' So, they did.
There are a decent amount of cameras that take 620 film. The spool is just a little shorter and thinner than it's 120 counterpart, so what you will see is hand rolled 620 film for sale. Basically someone has to take a blank or empty spool and roll the film onto it in pitch black and boom, 620. One day, I will roll my own medium format film, I just do not have the time for it right now.
Reed was gifted an Argus Super Seventy Five by our friend Scott one year and we loaded a roll into it right before our road trip up to San Francisco! The results are amazing, the tones are absolutely perfect and deep. I will definitely need to purchase a Super Seventy Five in the near future. Most people look at that camera as a toy, but the results are too phenomenal to call it a toy. Enjoy!
