Title: Just Bought A Kodak Six-20 Model D Box Camera
Post by: Difydave on January 25, 2015, 09:42

Is this suitable for stock photography?  ;D
Just joking, but I really have bought the camera. Assuming it works (Well the shutter does at least) I'm going to try a bit of "back to basics" B & W photography just for fun.
Any hints or tips, uk suppliers of film and processing etc. gratefully received.
No need to say "You're losing it mate" I already know that!  ;D

i use to process with kodak HC-110 and Agfa Rodinal. Quite standard chemicals and because they don't expire (even if there is a expiry date on the box)...someone used to say that rodinal it's like the wine: it gets better with time ;D ;D

I found more cheap to buy directly from ebay than in any shop directly (Italy)...can't help you much from this point of wiew as don't know how's there in UK

Thanks for the replies so far. I've had a bit of a look online and found a manual and someone who supplies film and does processing. I'll go for sending the films in for processing to start with. Might have a go myself a bit later as part of the nostalgia trip. although I only ever did any helping my dad a long time ago.
I've used one of these cameras before.  Last time was Easter 1972 on a trip to Santa Pod I think. I've still got some of the shots here. Not too bad as smallish prints.
