Show Notes
127 FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
127 Film “was introduced by Kodak in 1912, along with the “Vest Pocket Kodak” folding camera, as a compact alternative to larger portable cameras using 120. The folding “127s” were in fact smaller than most 35 mm cameras today. The 127 format made a comeback during the 1950s as the format of choice for small inexpensive cameras such as the Brownie and Satellite, and continued in wide use until surpassed by the 126 film and 110 film “Instamatic” cartridges (introduced in 1963 and 1972 respectively), and especially by 35 mm.”

620 FILM SPOOL KITS
With a low supply at high cost, I expressed interest in manufacturing 620 film spools so that folks can easily re-roll their favorite 120 film to 620. If you have an interest in 620 film photography, please drop me a line.
