Shapeways.com is an outlet for small molders. So some of these place have
their own sites.
These adapters do require some smarts and changes on your part.
YouTube has videos on how to use them (some sites have their own videos), since
the 620 and 616
camera were larger, you need to adapt the frame numbers shooting in larger
negative cameras.
Remember, there were NO enlargers back then. The negative size was your
picture size.
There are MANY makers of 120 film. Check processing, as color can be
cheaper then B&W.
Most offer scanning, the cost may be worth the hassle. Scanning quality
prices vary !
