One successful was the Agfa Karat system, which was introduced for the Agfa Karat cameras in 1936, and was produced until 1963. There were other, rival daylight-loading systems, but most of these were minority formats compared to 135. The 135 format became by far the most widely used photographic medium until the emergence of the digital camera. Disposable one time use cameras typically advertised as having 27 exposures, the length is the same as typical 24 exposure rolls, but there is less waste since the film is pre-loaded in a darkroom. It was replaced by 20-exposure rolls which were once common. 18 exposure rolls used to be available and sold as a half-length roll. Today's 135 cassettes typically have enough film for 12, 24 or 36 frames (of standard 24 x 36mm size). By the early 1930s film manufacturers also supplied film in disposable cassettes, and in 1934 Kodak created an industry standard by introducing the now-ubiquitous 135 format disposable cartridge along with their Retina cameras. Several photographic suppliers made such daylight cassettes for the user to load from bulk. The earliest 35mm cameras used cine film bought in bulk and loaded into the cameras in the dark room but Leitz introduced a film cassette which could be loaded with 1.6 meters of film in the darkroom, which then could be loaded into the camera in daylight when required. The Leica was followed by the Zeiss Contax in 1932, as well as by less expensive cameras such as the Argus A which brought 35mm shooting to a larger market that could not afford the top-quality German models. His employer Ernst Leitz always promised to bring it to the market but only launched a 25 pieces pre-production series in 1923, maybe as answer on the earliest true concurrent camera model Le Furet, introduced in France in 1923, and began series production with the Leica A in 1925, with the start of Germany's first interwar prosperity period (1925-1929 under democratic regime, the second was 1936-39 under dictatorial regime). Oskar Barnack built his prototype Ur-Leica in 1913-14 and had it patented. However the camera which brought the 24 x 36mm image format into much greater prominence was the Leica. The camera permitted a choice of either the cine frame size or the "double" frame 24 x 36mm format. This was soon followed by the Simplex, from New York's Multi-Speed Shutter Co. This camera ran the film vertically and exposed the standard 18x24 cine frame size (equaling four sprocket holes per frame). Although the first design was patented as early as 1908, it is generally accepted that the first commercially available 35mm camera was the 1913 Tourist Multiple, made by the New Ideas Mfg. Once cine film became widely available, it did not take long for inventors to imagine 35mm still-picture cameras which might be more easily portable than the common large-format plate cameras of the time. These rolls were supplied by the Eastman Dry Plate and film Company in Rochester, NY however, it took several years for 35mm movie film to become a regular Kodak product. This width originated by slitting 2.75" wide film rolls in half, and adding perforations. Edison's associate William Dickson created devices for photographing and viewing moving images on film loops 35mm wide, for which Edison filed a patent in 1891. Edison's laboratory more than 120 years ago. The 35mm format for film was first developed on an experimental scale in Thomas A.
