Q: 10. is this the correct film for a AGFA PD16 Viking camera with a F6.3 Lens?

A: Like John B noted 616 is no longer made. However, if you have a camera that takes 620 film, 120 can be used (just spool it onto a spare 620 spool, than back again so the frame numbers are correct - do this in a film changing bag, it's easy to do).
