Since Lieca started to create a camera that could load 35 mm film to take pictures in 1931, it made the camera smaller and more portable than the cameras that used larger sheet film in the past. It has been improved continuously since the film had to be loaded in the camera in a darkroom until after World War II when Kodak invented loading roll film in a cartridge that did not need to be loaded in a darkroom. The cartridge could be used and discarded, called the 135 film model. Cameras that used 35 mm roll film have become widely popular. They can take pictures in the size of 24 x 36 mm. There are options to shoot 12, 24 or 36 frames. In Europe, the main manufacturers of this type of camera are Leica, followed by Zeiss, Contax or Voigtlander, which produce cameras with good quality and high prices according to the quality of the camera. In America, there is Kodak, which is quite expensive. Argus produces cameras that are more affordable. It became very popular and brought 35mm film photography to a group of people who could not afford the expensive cameras from Europe. The Argus C3 is considered the best-selling 35mm camera ever made.
