film rolls

Photographer's unshot supply

Film rolls are cylindrical spools of photographic film, the light-sensitive material used in analog cameras before digital photography.

The term usually refers to the complete unit—film wound around a spool in a protective canister—ready to load into a camera: I need to buy some film rolls before the trip.

A roll of film typically contains 24 or 36 exposures.
