As a pre teenager I used an old, small bellows camera (can't recall the make) of my father which used 120 film. The image quality was great, even when I did my own processing and contact prints. Again the large negative. The tiny pin hole in the bellows made for interesting effects if the sun was over my right shoulder. Quality on enlargement was better than prints from some new reasonably priced 35mm compacts bought in the last couple of years. -- Regards Simon
