        I have a collection of old cameras that use old film sizes. It is very encouraging to have access to many of those sizes at B and H. Portra is a great color film with accurate color representation across subjects. I am very pleased with the results!

        Comments about Kodak Portra 160 Color Film / 620 Format:

        I recently purchased an old Kodak camera at a flea market. I assumed it would take 120 film, but to my surprise, when I opened it up, I saw a large label that stated "KODAK 620 FILM ONLY. DO NOT USE 120." While I do know that it's possible to use 120 film in it, it was still missing the spool that I needed. I didn't have to search the web long before I found B&H and realised that they sell 620 film. I was very pleased by the quality, pricing, and even delivery time of my product.

                I was so happy to see B&H carried the 160 film! I might try to roll 120 film (same thing as 160 film but comes on a 120 size spool) to the 620 film spool myself (it's cheaper) in the future but for now I'll be buying the ready to load 160 film.

                  I'm glad I found 620 film! I have been surging far and wide. I know you can respool 120 onto 620 spools but honestly if the film is out there use it. I have a brownie hawkeye and have been dying to use it. I was told B and H carries almost everything and they do!
                  The film was delivered successfully and not damaged. I loved the shipping options. Deadlines are important on photography.
                  Overall it is a good product ( its Kodak) and B and H allowed me to shoot old school the right way.
                  Thanks!
