    Kodak Brownie 27

    I bought this camera for a little bit of fun, nothing serious, i sent my girlfriend out to see if see could find 127 film anywhere in SF while i was at work. I guess something told her that 120 film would work with this camera and I just want to know if anyone can verify this?

    127 film and reels are narrower than 120, it won't fit.

    I have seen some 127 on eBay, but you pay a premium. I think Efke make it but I could be wrong. I read somewhere that if you have the spools you can cut down a 120 film. You would want to be really keen to tackle this. Plus, obtaining the spools might be a problem.

    It sounds to complicated for a camera i bought just to shoot a different format.
