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.
