Arrow My first TLR

i just purchased a argus "seventy-five" from a thrift store for 99 cents. and this is my first TLR camera and i have a couple of questions about it. I know that 620 film is no longer produced, but there are supliments, IE 120 film cut down. so my first question is, what is the best kind of film to use (im looking for price and quality). My second question is, do i have to have the veiwfinder closed when i expose the film (dumb question, but i dont want to waste film.(a photostudent cant afford it. I would also apreaciate any tips you can give me in using a tlr camera (links to good webstes are fun too)

Thanks
the freak
