Film transport apparatus
 A contact position at which the photographic film sent out from a film cartridge first contacts a film guide means is determined in such a manner that the photographic film does not contact a film entrance of the film cartridge when a film winding diameter in the film cartridge is at its maximum, and that only the edges of the photographic film, which curls in a direction of its breadth, which is not an image area, contacts the film entrance when the film winding diameter is at its minimum. As a result, the image area on the film is not damaged if the film is transported back and forth many times, and dust which causes damage to the film can be reduced.
