*The 620 Film Spool - Our 620 Film is hand-rolled onto a new FPP mold-injected plastic, re-usable 620 film spool. Our FPP 620 Spool is mold injected and is just a fraction thicker than vintage metal spools due to the fabrication requirements. Our spool will be snug in 1% of 620 cameras. It will loosen with repeated use (if you re-use your spool or can be easily sanded down with a piece of sandpaper.) This product is sold without warranty. All sales are final. Due to the age of vintage cameras your results are not guaranteed.
How many shots per roll? 620 film (like 120 film) has numbers imprinted on the backing paper. Number of exposures ( 8, 12 or 16) determined by what type of camera you have. Please consult your camera manual as to how many exposures you will get per roll as well as how to load film. Don’t have a camera manual? Visit Butkus Camera Manuals. Mike offers most camera manuals for 620 cameras.
Light leaks - Vintage camera the age of 620 cameras are prone to light leaks. Best to tape up the seams around the film compartment with light tight tape. Light leaks can also occur if your camera does not wind the film tightly onto your take-up spool. This is known as a "Fat Roll". Also, when handling your film - always store your exposed film in its black bag or snap case.
