Yeah, I know; everyone has one of these mass produced point & clicks somewhere. I recently rebuilt and cleaned the one that took my baby pictures circa 1954-56. Luckily it's one of the models that will accept 120 in the feed side (thus my rationalization for posting this in the MF forum).
I've rigged a crude tripod mount and am shooting some Ilford SFX 200 (just for BW, not IR). and started wondering... (here comes the question)

Does anyone know what size aperture and shutter speed this thing shoots?

Thanks,
Rick

I have a couple of those, I didn't know any of them could take 120 in the feed position. I'll have to dig them out and look

I think its the models up to '55-'57, when Kodak figured out that they could shrink the feed spool slot and sell 620. Profit motive, y'know.
