Just picked up a set at my local thrift shop.Both in fine condition and look to be the same age, (LONG) stamped on the B switch.I'll clean the lenses later today then lock & load with film.
Two questions:#1.Can I use standard 120 film.
#1.Does the red window fog the film?

Thanks Much.

Answer to question #1 : Maybe, if it fits. You might have to modify it slightly to accept the larger spools. You may only have to shave the spool end a little to fit. You have to modify the end of the winding mechanism, that inserts into the spool. The 620 size is smaller than the 120 and may slip.
Answer to #2 : No, it shouldn't fog the film.
