My new camera

I got myself a new camera. It may not have the IQ of the latest Nikon, but it's medium format and I only paid half a buck for it:

Savoy...Savoy. Isn't that the company that outsold Nikon, Canon and Sony, 2 to 1 ? Good find.

So where are your photos? We are all waiting to see what it does, I imagine.
I don't yet have any film for it. If someone knows where I can find a roll of film to fit, I'll give it a whirl.

Is that 10-5000mm super zoom?
This camera is so automated that it picks the shutter speed, aperture, and focal length itself.

Wow, good price. The last one of those I saw for sale was going for $12 USD. There are lots of places that sell 620 film from B&H to Adorama to eBay, or just about any good camera/photography store, if there's one near you.

What is the dial on top? Is that the film advance knob?
It doesn't appear to be an SLR type camera. With the viewfinder high up on the camera like that would one need to compensate when framing up the shot?

@Robyn H - Don't you mean "120"? 620 is the same film, but on a skinny spool that won't work in a 120 camera.

Didn't this came free when you bought a Yugo?

This camera does take 620 film. You are correct 120 and 620 are the same except for the spool. If he uses 120 he needs to respool it with a 620 spool.

That's a cutie. A little rubbing alcohol will rub the tap and writing off the front. 127 film? Okay, I see it's 120.

Nice strap and made in the USA. Must be a post tariff model? Nice find.

Can you even find film for it these days? I have an old folding camera I bought in Germany more than 50 years ago now. It uses 120 roll film. I don't know if they even make that anymore. The last roll of film I bought was a 20 exposure roll of Kodacolor and it cost me $10.00.
