Clear answers to the questions camera shoppers ask most.
Yes for someone ready to use an external meter and slow down. The fixed lens and straightforward controls are simple; the eight-frame roll makes each exposure feel deliberate. Cute Camera Co. is here when first-roll questions appear.
120 or 220 film. It makes 6ร9 negatives and provides 8 exposures on 120; 16 on 220. It is called 120 filmโnot โ120mmโโand the backing paper means the roll is loaded and unloaded differently from 35mm.
No. The camera is fully mechanical and has no built-in meter; bring a handheld meter or a reliable phone-meter app.
Coupled manual rangefinder focus; fully manual. Plan to use a handheld meter or a reliable phone-meter app.

8 exposures on 120; 16 on 220. The larger negative is the whole point, but it also makes each frame feel more deliberate than 35mm.

Medium-format cameras rely on precise shutter timing, film spacing, focus alignment, backs, bellows or seals, and controls that may have aged quietly for decades. Restoration gives you a dependable foundation before you commit an irreplaceable moment to one of the rollโs limited frames.
