What a fun little camera this is to shoot. And best of all, it takes 120 film. 16 4x5cm exposures on a roll of 120 roll film. My favorite part of this camera is the flowing sheet like border it creates on the negatives. This is cause by the way the metal is shaped in film advance mechanism. They're not easy to find, but they're out there. I bought mine from a nice old lady from Ontario Canada. You can find more information about the Rocket Camera on Cameriapedia.com
