Hello fellow Hoggers. I am looking for Kodak 620 film spools so that I can respool 120 film onto them to use I my old Kodak camera. I use PayPal and will pay any reasonable amount along with shipping. If you PM me I will give you my e-mail address.
Thank You.

SqBear Loc: Kansas, (South Central)

I've got 15 rolls of Kodak, Ektachrome 64 daylight professional film, EPR 120. 8, 10, 12 or 16 exposure. Very old, still in unopened boxes with wrapping, kept in the dark and cool since 1982.

AND 20 rolls of Kodacolor 400 for color prints CG 120 film in unbroken boxes and in wrapping since 1983 in dark and cool place. 8, 10, 12 or 16 exposure.

Would be glad to ship them to you for just the shipping cost.

Or, if you want just the spools, I'll open the boxes and remove the film from the spools and send the empty spools to you, again for just the shipping.

OR if you wanted to donate a few $$ to our local Shrine Center to help the kids that would be nice as well.
Interested?
Your choice.

Dave, although I appreciate the offer, 120 film spools will not work in a camera designed to use 620 film. Although the film itself is the same physical size, the ends of the spools will not fit nor engage with the mechanism of my Kodak Dualflex camera. By the way, 120 film is redily available at most photographic suppliers. Modern medium format cameras still use it.

jsmangis,
is this still 120 film on the rolls that you cannot use?
I have 25 rolls/spools.
Let me know if you want them still packaged or just the spools. I have a feeling they are the same as the other film rolls.

Hello SgBear, as I told Dave, there is a difference in the spools that 620 and 120 film is wound on. Sometime in the late 1950's the film companies standardized the medium format 120 film to what I believe was the European standard. The film itself remained 70mm wide and was rolled onto the spools with a paper backing as it was before. The difference is that Kodak and all other film manufacturers adapted the spool design that would fit the high end cameras like Hasselblad and Exacta. Interestingly enough, Kodak had been using the same design for many years in their folding roll film cameras. They only used the 620 design spools in their low priced Brownie Hawkeyes and Dualflex models. As a result, when they discontinued those models, they only produced the 620 film for a limited time, much the same way they orphaned their Instamatic cameras decades later. I am not looking for old 120 film, that is available virtually everywhere. What I am looking for is the old empty 620 film spools so that I can respool any 120 film (regardless of it's vintage) so that I can use my old Kodak Dualflex.
