Kodak Senior #1 is a 620 and has a nice kodak anastigmat F-6.3 on it and is nice in my book :
 
Argoflex. I have one and it takes really nice photo's. Abouty $10 on eBay.

Ditto for the Argoflex. Some took only 620; others took both 620 and 120. Stop that triplet down to f/ 9 or F/12.7 and it cuts a pretty sharp image.That's my Dad's Argoflex in my avatar.
 
After you have shoot your film, if you want to get rid of the spools, contact me. I could use a few. I can use 120 film in my Brownie Hawkeye if I have a 620 take up spool. You might try that with whatever 620 camera you end up with. Bill Barber
 
I just bought some 620-format film from the 70s just for the heck of it.

Have you processed any of it to see if it is still good?
If so, the Anaston lens on the Tourist is nice, as long as you are paying less than $20 USD. If you are going to spend more than that I'd try to get something with a rangefinder. A sharp lens is no good if its not in focus.

Not yet, but seller said that it is still ok. I'm not expecting fancy results just enough for testing. Price was anyway lower than some sellers ask for empty spools. I will respool them later with something more fresh.
