Kodak Duaflex II
Once the king of film cameras in the United States, everyone took their snapshots with a Kodak. If these snapshots were taken in the 50's or 60's they may very well have been taken using a Kodak Duaflex camera. The Duaflex line of cameras had many variations and models. I found this example in a local antique store.
Can this camera still be used today? Yes, most definitely. 620 film is no longer readily available but, Kodak's film marketing plan helps us use these old cameras. 620 film is nothing other than 120 film on a different sized spool. 120 film can easily be re-rolled on 620 spools and used. Even the backing paper numbers are the same.
I would suggest using 100 speed film when attempting to use these older cameras, it more closely matches the film speed these cameras were originally designed for.
This camera was marked at $20 in a local antique store. I have seen them cheaper than this but, when I noticed there was an exposed film inside I immediately bought it.
