ABSTRACT:
A camera has a camera body in which a film is drawn out of a film cartridge to be wound by a film take-up spool positioned in a spool chamber. The camera has a film passage formed in the camera body for guiding the film drawn out of the film cartridge to the spool chamber. The rear surface of the camera body extends substantially in parallel to a plane connecting an axial center of the film take-up spool with an axial center of a cartridge spool of the film cartridge. The film passage is formed such that a surface of the film located in the film passage intersects the plane connecting the axial center of the film take-up spool with the axial center of the cartridge spool.
