Kodak Jiffy six-20

Picked this one up for $15 only because I didn't have one and it was there in front of me begging me to make an offer. A test with a flashlight in the dark showed no visible pinhole light leaks. Had to reload the 620 spindle from a 120 roll of B&W and I was in business. Snapped off a few shots o...
