How do I load the 620 film in my Kodak Reflex TLR Camera?
I have the original Kodak Reflex TLR. It’s not the Kodak Reflex II, which seems to be the more popular one.. go figure. I just bought two rolls of 620 film, and I don’t want to waste my money by loading it wrong and exposing it. Thanks!
Ok. No jerk answers please. I’m dead serious. I don’t really want to waste my money.
Here B the reflex manual: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/kodak/kodak_reflex/kodak_reflex.htm
Instructions B there.
and on differences btw Reflex and Reflex II:
From: http://www.mattdentonphoto.com/cameras/kodak_reflex2.html
The earlier Kodak Reflex (1946-) was similar except it had a slightly slower shutter (2-200) and ground glass instead of a Fresnel lens so the viewfinder wasn’t as bright. I understand that the Fresnel viewfinder was available as an upgrade ($15? at the time) to make your Reflex I into a Ia. The original Reflex also lacked automatic frame counting, and though it was available with the better Anastar lenses is frequently found with the lesser Kodak Anastigmat lenses. I don’t know if the Anastigmat was coated or not, I don’t think so though, as it’s not on my Kodak 35 or Vigilant Six-20. Both versions of the Reflex are very worthy starter TLRs and available relatively inexpensively, this one being obviously somewhat more sophisticated than the original Reflex. Another note I have from my service manual is that the Reflex II (at least the later ones) has a more robust film spool roller. Apparently this also was an available modification to upgrade the Reflex I and the early Reflex II ‘to avoid possible film winding problems’….
On loading the camera: put an empty 620 spool in the top (takeup) position, thread the film through the large slot through the small slot, wind on a little and put the film spool in the bottom, close the back. Advancing the film requires you push up the lock release button which is located above the counter window. Advance the film till the number 1 appears in the red window, then turn the smaller knurled counter advance knob clockwise until the number 1 appears in the counter window, at which point it should stop automatically. To advance to the next frame you push up the lock release and wind on. When you’ve exposed 12 frames, the number 0 appears in the counter window and the film wind will turn freely so you can wind the film completely onto the takeup spool.

So Reflex not have Fresnel viewfinder or automatic frame counter, like Reflex II.
