A film camera is your gateway to the world of classic photography! Instead of digital sensors, these vintage cameras capture images on film, a special material that reacts to light.

When you press the shutter, light enters through the camera lens, hitting the film inside. This light creates a chemical reaction, burning the image onto the film. After shooting, the entire film roll is “developed” in a lab to produce physical photos.

Unlike digital cameras, a film camera lets you control everything. You set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Everything is manual, giving you a real connection to your photos. The result? Photos with rich textures and that signature grainy look. It’s photography at its rawest and most exciting.

Choosing a film camera over a digital camera brings a special experience. Here’s why:

• Authentic Look: Whether coloured or black and white, film delivers that classic, timeless aesthetic. No filter needed!
• Tangible Memories: Each roll of film gives you physical photos you can hold.
• Creative Control: With most cameras offering only up to 36 exposures, every shot matters. Lomography fans love this challenge.
• Unique Grain: Film has a natural grain that digital cameras can’t replicate. It adds character to every photo.
• Versatility: With options like SLRs, rangefinder cameras, point-and-shoot film cameras, medium format cameras, and even half-frame models, you can experiment with different styles.
