Beacon 225 Medium Format Camera. It takes (and is actually still loaded with) Kodak 620 film. I have honestly never used this camera, I found it at the "Swap Shop" at our local Transfer station about 5 years ago (someone was getting rid of it). I just realized it still had film in it when I opened it a few weeks ago. Its too bad, I wonder if I could still develop it (actually I should try).

I am seriously looking at getting a Medium Format camera, either a Rollei or a Yashica.

In the spirit of Medium Format, I've cropped this to a square...

OK, so I had to Google the Beacon and found this link. I think I will grab some 120 and re-roll it on the 620 spool (OK, time suck. . .). And while I am at the store to get the 120, I might as well get the mint (like never used) 1958 Yashicamat while I'm at it.

I was out photographing old Kodak cameras this morning.
Interesting to see this old beauty posted.
Thanks for sharing.
