Film Cameras

A camera can capture many memories, from birthday parties and holidays to everyday occurrences. With the use of film rising, you have the option to shoot with digital, instant, or traditional film. The key to shooting great shots is to find the right camera and lens for your skill level and learn how to use it.

Common features of cameras that take film will vary depending on the type of camera you use. High-end models, such as a Leica, include features that are sometimes only utilized with professional photographers. Some of the most common features you will find include:

• Automatic and manual settings
• A flash mechanism or the ability to attach an external flash unit
• A zoom lens for capturing photos from different distances
• A solid body to protect the inner mechanisms from dust, dirt, and light
• A lens cap to protect it from getting scratched

There are many analog camera options and with these options comes a range of film sizes, shapes, and styles.

• Most analog models will take 35 millimeter film. This standard size is produced in a wide range of options, including traditional color, black and white, red scale, and color negative. Along with these options, 35 millimeter also comes in different speeds that can help you get sharper images depending on whether the subject of the photo is in motion or standing still.
• Larger models take larger sizes, such as 120 film format. Many of these models also have convertible attachments to switch it to 35 millimeter for convenience.
• Polaroid (or instant) cameras use film packs that provide you with a photo at the click of a button. This type comes in mini or square format.

Film has never gone completely out of style, and most manufacturers still produce a range of products that work for new devices as well as older models.

• The most common size and most abundantly produced film size is 35 millimeter. It easily works with most vintage and new devices.
• Some of the newer Polaroid models have packs that are too small for vintage models, but the traditional square size packs are also available and can work with some vintage models.
• Less common options such as 110, 120, and 4 by 5 sheets are also produced for specific camera types.
