1. Roll film

   Roll film or rollfilm is any type of spool-wound photographic film protected from white light exposure by a paper backing. The term originated in contrast to sheet film. Confusingly, roll film was originally often referred to as "cartridge" film because of its resemblance to a shotgun cartridge. The opaque backing paper allows roll film to be loaded in daylight. It is typically printed with frame number markings which can be viewed through a small red window at the rear of the camera. A spool of roll film is usually loaded on one side of the camera and pulled across to an identical take up spool on the other side of the shutter as exposures are made. When the roll is fully exposed, the take up spool is removed for processing and the empty spool on which the film was originally wound is moved to the other side, becoming the take up spool for the next roll of film.

   Roll film is a type of photographic film that has been wound on a spool, so it can be quickly loaded into cameras or other photographic devices. The images are captured sequentially on the film during exposure. The user can then develop the photographs, either in a darkroom or by sending the film to a professional developing service. Roll film comes in various sizes and formats, examples include 35mm film or 120 film, each used for specific types of photography.
