Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash No. 8

This was my 8th and final Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash. At least it is, so far.... Right now, I'm still awaiting a chance to use this camera for the first time. It takes 620 film (which is no longer made), and since a 120 film spool fits in it with no modifications, it shouldn't be a problem being able to use it. My problem is finding the time to shoot with it. I'm trying to use every camera in my collection by shooting with them at least once, so that I can say "I do use my cameras." But, I keep adding more to my collection and fitting them all in takes even more time because of it.
