Most of the Brownies are not 120, but the Brownie
Cresta 1, 2, and 3 all are. Unfortunately for us yanks,
the Cresta was a british model that wasn't sold in the
US. They show up on ebay once in a while. I have one
that actually has a fun lens (or is that "lense") on it -
nicely sharp in the middle, pleasant focus and light fall-off
towards the edges, and some interesting chromatic abberation.

I was on e-bay for hours looking there are many of these types of
camera's I
am not sure whether I should try to convert it or use it as it is and see
what takes place. Have you tried this as a pinhole, if so how did you feel
with your results?

An old 120 Brownie can also be converted to pinhole. One advantage of the
Brownie is that the shutter has a time exposure setting. I just converted
one. The lens was in a brass holder that threaded onto a block of wood
inside the camera, so it came out very easily. It gets 8 6x8 pictures
on a roll. The camera cost me $6.00 at the recent Photographica show in
Boston.
