35mm film

Camera's light-sensitive strip

35mm film is the standard photographic film format, measuring 35 millimeters in width.

It dominated still photography and cinema for most of the twentieth century.

A roll of 35mm film typically yields 24 or 36 exposures.

Though largely displaced by digital imaging, 35mm remains popular among photographers who prefer the look and process of analog photography: She still shoots on 35mm film.
