PERSONAL NOTESEven with real 620 film, this camera is difficult to load. The camera states that it makes 12 6x6 frames per roll, but looking at what I have, it's more like 5x6. CONCLUSIONThis camera is a nice object, depending on your taste... It can look like old hospital cup. The only nice thing about this camera is that it's colorful. It can be a subject in itself, but for taking pictures, avoid. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
