The Argus produces a 6cm x 6cm negative as do almost all of the TLR cameras that have been made over the many years.

Thanks, Dave, I was hoping that was (is) the case. as I have fallen in love with the square format.
By the way, I saw the 1960 movie, "The Bellboy," starring Jerry Lewis last night. Lewis plays a bellboy at Miami's Fontainebleau hotel. IN the movie, he runs off to a golf tournament to watch Cary Middlecoff play. As Middlecoff attempts to sink the tourney-winning shot, his concentration is shattered by the sound of a camera shutter, and he flubs the putt. Needless to say, the shutterbug is Lewis, who appears to be wielding an Argus Super 75. I love watching for cameras in old movies, and trying to identify them!

What is the image size of pictures made on 620? I suppose it could vary, as 120 does; specifically, does anyone know what size an Argus Super 75 TLR produces?

More generally, 620 film was *identical* to 120 except for the spool.
