ABSTRACT:
A lens-fitted photographic film unit is pre-loaded with an unexposed photographic film. An exposure station is adapted to exposing the film. A film supplying chamber contains a roll of the unexposed film with a first film end wound internally. A film take-up chamber is disposed opposite to the film supply chamber, and rotatably contains a spool for holding a second film end. The film as exposed is wound up in the film take-up chamber on the spool, having passed through a chamber entrance to the film take-up chamber. An outlet slot is formed behind the film take-up chamber. After completing winding-up of the film, the first film end is exited outward from the outlet slot when the spool is rotated. A tongue of a blocking member is movable so that the chamber entrance is left open when the spool rotates in the winding-up direction, and is partly closed when the spool rotates in the unwinding direction.
