Hi Ann, I have a couple of Argus 75's (from way back), pretty rudimentary I know but good fun all the same (and the finder is a blast). I don't believe that 620 film is available any longer (not here anyhow) but in any case it is just 120 on a different spool. If the camera came with a 620 take up spool you should be OK, the 120 will float a little on the supply spigots but it will be OK. Just remember to rescue your spool if you don't process the film yourself. Try some Ilford FP4 Plus or Delta 100 :-) BTW I have one kit with the original flash, close-up lens and leatherette case.
