Good for nothing!

PERSONAL NOTES

Even 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.


CONCLUSION

This 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.
