Disk film was a format introduced by Kodak in the late 1970s. The film was cut into 15 small rectangles for 8×10.5mm exposures, and arranged around a hub, in a similar manner to Viewmaster disks. The camera would take a photo, and then rotate the disk 24&degree; for the next shot.

The format ultimately failed due to the poor quality of images on the tiny negatives and the relative expense of the cameras compared to other formats.
