Just dug up and ANCIENT Brownie from my grandads stuff, and it takes 116 film. As far as I know 116 is totally dead, but I also know that there is lots I don't know, and that lots of formerly-extinct films are being brought back. I've heard of 116 being frozen since the 1960's, but it is insanely expensive. It'd be nice to run some film through this camera as my first foray into the world of large-format, but I have a feeling it will end up being a shelf-piece/conversation starter

you can mod a 120 film into a 116 format: the negatif is the same, only the 116 spool is smaller.

Though for the quality of most older Brownies, you might as well just stretch your 120 film across the back of a coke bottle and take photos.
