At age 8 I had a Kodak 120 folding camera, using 120 film (620?).  I 
would take the film up to our local drugstore to be developed. I pulled 
it out the other day and looked at it - made in Wetzlar in the 1930's, 
brought back from Germany by my dad from WWII.  Along with a French 
Lebel rifle.  He said don't ever shoot that thing, it will blow up in 
your face.  I shot plenty with the Kodak but heeded his advice with the 
rifle.  I also have a Hawkeye from that era and a really bizarre 3D 
camera that my grandmother used.
