I wanted to see if anyone has any questions about my hobby and to also kill time.

    I wouldn’t say it’s gotten too expensive. I’m averaging about 2ish euros a photo with my medium format camera.

    Each roll depending on the maker is 10-15 euros with 5 euro development fee. The most I’ve ever paid was 20 euros per roll.

    If film ever runs out and I still don’t want to give up analog photography, I’ll use glass plates.

    I think film is a bit too hard to do yourself. Case in point is Harmon Phoenix. You should take a look at their process because they are the 3rd maker of film emulation in the modern era.

      See I’m curious about film but then I see the prices and I’m less interested… Though I’ve only really been doing photography since April

        Developing black and white film is really cheap and easy. I think it’s just developer, fixer, and an all in one film developer container.

        Color film is a little more intimidating for me since it’s easier to over or under develop.

          A white vinegar stop bath is optional but will extend the life of your fixer. Rinse aid at the end will help avoid residue streaks when drying.
