Coming soon to iPhone

A camera bag in your iPhone.

Hold your phone sideways, look through a tiny viewfinder, and wait for each photo to develop.

It feels like holding a camera.

  1. Turn it sideways

    Almost every camera is held in landscape, the way you hold the real thing.

  2. Look through the finder

    You get a small window, not a full screen. Frame the shot like it is 1985.

  3. Press the release

    No filter while you shoot. What you see is what the lens sees.

  4. Let it develop

    The film look arrives a moment after the shot. Every photo is made on your phone, nothing is uploaded.

Pick one up.

From 1968 to 2006. Each camera takes its own film, so the look comes from the one you choose. More are on the way.
