Bought this from Ebay on a whim - not entirely sure why. It is a strange camera. Took me a while to work out how to open the front - push very hard on the viewfinder! Actually, that now works very smoothly - the wonders of WD40 - as does the catch to the back. Strange range of shutter speeds: 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/125. Those last two seem a bit close together to have any point. Shutter behaves strangely when set to 1/100 - fire the shutter a few times and the shutter sets itself to 1/50.
Takes both 120 and 620 film. It came with a 620 spool in -place and I have tried a 120 spool to make sure it fits - it does. There are both red and green windows on the back - one for panchromatic film and one for orthochromatic film. There is a slider to select which you want to use but no slider to shut-off the window to prevent fogging the film. Has both an eye-lever finder and a brilliant finder in the one housing. The eye-level finder works fine and the briliant finder is as bad as every other brilliant finder I have come across.
