620 rollfilm is basicly the same as 120 rollfilm, it has the same widht and lenght. The only difference is the spool which holds the film, in case of the 620 roll the center of the spool is smaller than that of 120 roll. A lot of older camera's use 620 film altough it's possible in some to use 120 rollfilm too.
 
 
620 rollfilm was introduced by Kodak to counter there decreasing sales on 120 film, many other brands (Like Agfa) made 120 film too. So Kodak deceided to make a line of camera's that only could take their film and thus 620 was born. Several millions of camera's of this type where made and sold but at a certain point Kodak dropped the production of 620 leaving a lot of camera's useless for the average person.

It's still possible to use this type of camera if you have the spools ( 2 pieces). You can easily rewind the 120 film on the 620 spool and still use it in the camera. Just search the internet on "respooling 620 film" for instructions. 620 film can still be bought at specialized webshops but they are rather expensive.
 
 
NOTE: If you don't do your own processing you have to ask your spools back otherwise the photolab will toss them away!!
