These lifesize 35mm rolls of film are actually digital compact cameras!

Escura SnapRoll camera.

It’s a bird, it’s a roll of film, it’s a… digital camera? That’s right, the Escura SnapRoll might look like a roll of film for 35mm cameras, but it’s actually a working compact camera. Could have fooled me! Not only is it a 1:1 scale reproduction of a roll of 35mm film, but it comes in one of seven authentic-looking retro designs (including a Mystery Version) and a matching 1:1 box.

However, you won’t know which design you get until you open the packaging. You also have a 1:36 chance of finding the Mystery Version, which is based on Escura’s own ‘Showa’ film style. The mystery variant in question is said to feature a transparent shell, revealing the device’s internals, while mimicking the ‘Showa’ film style.
