Just crab a roll of medium size film (120, rollfilm) and an empty spool. Place the empty spool on the right pocket and the film on the left pocket. Thread the end of the film into the empty spool and rotate the spool with the knob. Close the back door and advance the film until you can see number 1 in the upper window (in the middle) on the back. That's the frame counter. <a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how2load120.htm" rel="nofollow">Ken Rockwell</a> has written more detailed instructions and there's also a bunch of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=loading+medium+format+film&search_type=&aq=f" rel="nofollow">videos in YouTube</a>. Just remember to wind the film every time you take a photo or otherwise you'll get multiple exposures on single frame. Note to others: different cameras may have their own tricks. Check out the manual or forums. @ Lori – Loading the film is quite simple. Just crab a roll of medium size film (120, rollfilm) and an empty spool.

I will have to see if I can find someone to help me with film to find out if it works. Maybe I will become... a camera buff? L Thanks so much for the info.

Weltax cameras were available in few different versions (different lens and shutter). Your camera has a slightly better lens than mine but I don't know what these camera are really worth. I paid 40€ ($55) for mine and I'm satisfied with the camera and the price I paid. I've seen Weltax folding cameras been sold on eBay for around $50-$70 so if your camera is in full working order, it might be worth $70. Maybe. @ Lori – Welta manufactured Weltax cameras in 1946-1950 (see here) so your camera must be about the same age as mine.

I bought a camera in 2000 from a yard sale. I paid $15.00 small money for an old camera. I am not a photographer. I know zero about cameras however, I was just impressed with this old camera. I was looking at a camera site and found you blog. I was just looking to see if anyone could help me. When I bought the camera it came in a leather case made to form fit it. My great grandparents came from Germany but I do not speak it. In the case under the felt there is news print in German. Can you help me to find out the age of the camera and if it is worth some money? I thank you for your time in reading my letter and hope that you will respond to help me.
