Yes, the early ones were 116 to get a bigger negative for contact printing. I
have one of unknown parentage which is all wood, including the film carrier
(but excluding the lens and shutter of course!) Infinitely modifiable and I've
been considering 120'ing it for a while. I bought a Conley Kewpie the other day
- side loading 120. They also made a monster drop plate 4x5 box camera - I do
fancy one of those.

But I must confess…I thought Stephan was making a tongue in cheek reference to
the first 1888 Kodak. Kodak loaded with circular images and now very
collectible and unusable.
