Box camera list and film formats
« on: January 17, 2018, 10:28:19 PM »
Here is the start of a list of box cameras and the film format they take.
Please feel free to add to the list like so:
Manufacturer - Model - Format - Film

So, the entry for the Kodak Hawkeye Flash would look like this

Kodak - Hawkeye Flash - 6x6 - 620

For the format, here are the usual formats: 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x9

Keep the list going and from time to time I'll do a compilation of all the entries.

Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.
