"So much better than a disposable. And the mail service makes the development so much easier. Love it!"

The Process

The easy way to
start shooting on film.

Nothing to set, nothing to focus. If you can wind on, you can shoot it.

1.
Order the kit

Camera, films and travel bag. Ready to go.

2.
Shoot the roll

Load the film in 30 seconds. Point, shoot, wind on. 24 shots per roll and no screen to check.

3.
Send the films

Order development on our site and post the rolls to us, or take them to any lab.

4.
Photos in your inbox

Digital scans are sent to you within 7 days. Save, share and shoot again.

Post it Monday, photos in your inbox the next Monday.

The Comparison

Why not just
use your phone?
Or a disposable?

Your phone

Unlimited photos. Unlimited retakes. You check every shot, which means you're never quite in the moment. Reviewed once when you get home, buried forever by next week. Free - and worth about that much in six months.

A disposable

27 shots, no dev included. You'll pay another £15 to get the photos developed at a local lab. Camera is plastic waste after one roll. Fine once. Expensive as a habit.

CATCH 35mm camera

CATCH

48 shots across 2 rolls. Reusable camera you keep. Send the rolls to us and scans land in your inbox 7 days later. Reload it with any 35mm film for years.

Why film

Why the week's wait
is the best part.

Your phone gives you the photo instantly. You look at it once.

Film makes you wait 7 days. 24 shots a roll and no screen, so you take the picture and get on with the night.

Then an email lands with the scans. Faces you'd forgotten, light you didn't notice. That's the bit people get hooked on.

Nothing to learn first. Flash on, point, shoot, wind on. The camera does the rest, and we develop every roll.

Photos you'll still open
next year.

Common questions

Honestly answered.

What if I've never used a film camera?
Nothing to set and nothing to focus. Flash on, point, shoot, wind on.
What if I don't like it?
90-day money-back guarantee. Email us your order number and we sort it.
What's in the kit?
A reusable CATCH camera, 2 rolls of roda 35mm and a corduroy travel bag. £102 bought separately, £71.40 here. One payment, nothing recurring. When you've shot the rolls, send them to us for development or take them to any lab.
What film do you use?
We make our own 35mm films, all on limited runs. This season it's roda, a warm ISO 400 film made for people. It holds up when the light goes - parties, winter weddings, dinner tables, early dark. Flash on and get close and it does the rest. The canister is blank so you can draw your own. You can put any other 35mm film in your CATCH camera.
The one mistake most first rolls make
Shooting indoors or at night with the flash off. Film needs more light than your phone, so slide the flash on anywhere darker than daylight and get close. Beyond that: some shots will be blurry, one or two double-exposed by accident. That's part of it, and we email tips with every roll.
What if my film gets lost in the post?
Happens to about 1 in 1000 rolls. Use a padded envelope or tracked delivery for extra protection.
How fast do I get my photos?
Within 72 hours of receiving your film, so normally 7 days after you send. We don't sit on them - we know you want them and getting them back is the best part. Worth the wait.
Can I get prints?
We don't sell prints directly - you get high-resolution digital scans, easy to share. Some customers print one or two once they have seen the whole lot.
Can I use my own film with the camera?
Yes - any 35mm film works in the CATCH camera, and we can develop them anytime using our digital development service.
Does this work for weddings?
Yes - check our camera + film kits for multiple cameras and films to shoot weddings, parties and any event from every angle.
Is there a warranty on the camera?
Yes - 90 days if the camera is faulty. Email us with your order number and we'll send a replacement.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Not yet - but drop us a message on Instagram @catchcameras if you're really desperate and we'll see what we can do.
How do I load the film?
There's an easy-to-follow guide and it's important to learn. Once you have done it once, it's really easy.
Can I open the back of the camera after loading?
No - this will expose the film to light and ruin your photos. Always make sure the film is fully wound back in before opening. The camera has a small indicator window so you can see if film is loaded.
