This being the first post on Deja Nintendo, i shall introduce you to one of my most treasured possessions; my Ansco SHUR SHOT Box Camera.
I have a modest collection of box cameras and other vintage makes, TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) and some Instamatic's.
I am yet to purchase film for this camera and process it myself, but when i do i will surely post the results for your viewing pleasure.
If you have a box camera and you need some film where can you get it?
Well, most Kodak Box Brownie's and other box cameras use 120 or 620 film. 120 is made by Fujifilm, Agfa, Kodak, Ilford, Rollei etc.. but 620 is hard to come by these days. However 620 and 120 films are the same width, they just have different size spools. So 120 film can be unrolled and rewound onto a 620 spool! INGENIOUS
You could check out eBay to find a bargain, but your best bet if you want someone to professionally develop your film is to find a local photographic specialist that has medium format films in stock and the ability to develop them.
So far the best online resources that i have discovered for purchasing alternative film formats are at:
