Hi........I shoot with a brownie hawkeye flash model ((1950 - 61)
that is supposed to use 620 film. Let me assure you that 120 is the
same film, but is simply wound on different spools. All I have to do
is load the 120 into the camera as i would 620, and use one of my 620
spools for the take-up spool. I then take the exposed film to a local
pro shop and have them to save my 620 spool. they are very nice
about this.
<p>
Good luck!!!!!

Brownie film advance?
in Classic Manual Film Cameras

Trula.........there should be a red "EYE" on the rear of your camera.
the film will have numbers. ( I use kodak Porta 160 ASA) After
loading the film, you will see several things roll by as you advance
the film. The 1st exposure will sneak up on you the first time you do
this, so dont worry if you pass it and end up on #2. I did this my
first time. Then just advance each time to the next number. I keep a
piece of black tape over my "red eye" until i am actually advancing
the film, at which point i remove it to see the numbers. I do this
so that no excess light filters in and makes a cloudy pic. the newer
films are more sensitive (especially color)

good luck
