This particular model holds the place of longest-owned in my collection: I purchased it in 2001, having seen several others like it in a small camera museum in Arizona. I loved its lines and its styling, and came to love its simplicity and ability to make sharp pictures.
The strap 'rings' you see were not factory-installed; I attached them after finding them in a desk drawer at a temporary worksite. Kodak expected, apparently, that if you wanted to hang this camera around your neck, you'd buy the eveready case. In this day and age, however, they're rare as hen's teeth.
August 2009: The "broken concrete" pics here were shot on Verichrome Pan film (now defunct; this roll expired in 2002), and developed in "Caffenol", a homebrew of sodium carbonate, instant coffee and water. That's right, instant coffee. I figure I underdeveloped it, but it was my first go-round, so I am happy to have gotten anything.
The site was the Seawall along Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi, just before one gets to the Naval Air Station back gate.
June 2011: For "Six-20 Camera Day 2011", I decided to make it a 3-day event, since the 20th of June was a Monday. This way all the participants could shoot with their Six-20 cameras on Saturday and Sunday as well. I ended up using several cameras (as the founder of the day I feel a strong responsibility to produce), one of which was the Duaflex II. The photos are appropriately marked. Some were shot on Kodak T-Max 100 film, the rest on expired (1962) Verichrome Pan.
