PocketRoll is a film camera for your pocket. Pick a roll and shoot. No editing afterwards. Pick a roll, then shoot ⢠Nine film stocks, from soft warm portrait film and vivid fine-grain colour to airy pastels, cinema film with a red glow around night lights, and grainy black and white. ⢠See the film look live in the viewfinder. What you see is exactly what you get. ⢠Real grain, halation around bright lights, vignetting and each stock's own colour. Shoot it like a real roll ⢠Load 24, 36 or 72 half-frame exposures. The film stays in until the roll is finished. ⢠Wind the lever after every shot. ⢠Send the roll to the lab and wait an hour, or until tomorrow morning. Until then you only see orange negatives. ⢠Developed rolls open as a contact sheet with frame numbers on the film edge. ⢠2-in-1 mode prints two half frames side by side. 90s compact camera touches ⢠Orange date stamp in the corner. ⢠Light leaks, dust and scratches, different on every frame. ⢠Film-strip, instant-print and white borders. ⢠3:2, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9 and full-screen framing.
