If it's called the "Ventura 69," it's a good bet that it produces 6x9cm negatives. If you have the camera, measure the film gate.

Aye laddie, if I had the camera in hand I would measure it but the reference to the "69" is a good point. I could not see the forest for the trees there. Steve

Hello Steve - I just came across your year old message about your Ventura 69 camera. I have one that outwardly appears to be in great condition but it won't focus. I was just wondering if you have tried yours out and what the results were. They do in fact use 120 film and you get 8 frames on a roll, neg size is 2 1/4 x 3 3/8 inches. A piece of ground glass held behind the camera shows it focusing a good 3/8" behind the film plane and no-one can figure out why. One thing that is suspicious is the front lens is very sloppy in the threads - how does yours function? Harv.

Unfortunately I do not have the camera so I cannot share any info with you but thanks for your interest and good luck with your questions. Steve
