For Sale 2x Marksman 620 Box Cameras (1 black, 1 red) - $10

[BJ Bignell]

I'm cleaning out the basement and am getting rid of everything I no longer use!

Two Marksman 620 box cameras, one red, one black, both in fair condition. Both have functioning shutters with Snap and Time (bulb) modes, and have all the necessary parts. They are a bit dingy and need to be cleaned; I prefer to leave this to you - leave them as-is or restore them as you desire. The lenses inside are in good condition. The red camera is missing the leather strap. The black camera is missing the protective lens in the front plate.

Asking $10 for the pair, plus shipping costs of $15 to Canada or the USA. Or make me an offer - everything must go!

If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask.

They look like they'd make a great addition to a studio. What size is 620 film? Similar to 120?

620 is similar to 120, but not quite the same. You can use 120 but it needs to be trimmed down - here's an excellent resource that describes it all: http://mconnealy.com/vintagecameras/120in620/

620 film is the same as 120 and the numbers on the backing paper all align up the same too, BUT the shaft of a 620 spool is 7mm diameter whereas on a 120 it is 12mm diameter, also the slotted hole to engage on the winder is much smaller on 620 that of 120.

You can see how to get round the non-availability of 620 in the shops here...

So you can run 120 film through a 620 film camera?

That actually sounds like a cool idea!

Certainly you can. I think it is best to respool it rather than cut down the discs on the ends of 120 to "make it fit".
