I have one of these and it took 620 film. This is the same size as 120 medium format film which is readily availble. The only difference between 620 and 120 is the spool which has different slots in it - can't remember what the difference is but you could either a: respool the film and backing from 120 onto a 620 spool or b: modify a 120 spool.
It's only the takeup spool you would need to worry about I think. If you have a 620 takeup spool in it try a 120 for fit at the other side.
Best of luck and I would like to see the results.

Joe, I think your camera has mine beat. I pulled it out and it would appear to be a somewhat newer model. On the inside, it says to use 616 film, and warns against using 116 film. :)

Hmmm cmos or ccd sensor?
but seriously 116 film and I had one and used it. NO idea where to buy the film. Try ebay

When I started reading this post, I quickly went to my closet and got my old camera out. At first it looked the same thing I had. Upon closer examination a few differences showed up.

Inside the film back cover it says No.3A folding Pocket Kodak. Then a bunch of patents and the address or Kodak in Rochester,NY. The on the rear cover, (you'ld open it to writer notes on the rear of the film.), it says that it takes Autographic Film No. A-122.

As *I mentioned, it looked the same. The big difference is that it is adjustable from f: 4 to 64, and the speed from 1 sec to 100 then B T. Also, where the origionaql photo post shows one chrome cylinder, mine has two. One on each side of the lens.

The front has a chrome "goal post",(maybe nickel), that holds the lens assembly and lets you raise and lower the lens. At the bottom is a screw that lets you move the lens left or right. When it came loose for me, I was able to angle the lens. That's just like an early tilt-shift lens.

I've never used this camera and picked it up back in the 70's or 80's at a garage sale, somewhere in my travels. Origionally I was going to use just to goof around with. film was never found and I never followed up on it.

Can anyone tell me if the 620 is the "modern designation" for the older A-122 film?

Besides for just having, is tis camera worth anything?

(Referencing the photos in the link.)

Thank you for the link but my camera must be one of the optional models.

If you go the link provided, then look at the center B2 model, that shows the two separate cylinders I described earlier.

Then if you look at the center B4 model, that model has the, (what I call), "goal post" lens holder like my unit.

Then if you look at the entire lens assembly, my unit is nickel plated. There is no brass colored section at all.

It does have the decorative wood base shown in the B2 and B4 models.

*I'm not sure but I get the feeling a previous owner lost the origional film back and replaced it with the 3A film back which it now has.

Any ideas about what the model should be?
