@tilton Reminds me of a related point once made by the late Iain Banks:

"Refusing to do a finite amount of good because one cannot do an infinite amount of good is a morally perverse position."

@knud @Gargron But if you're into it, you can bring the cost way down. I develop my own black and white at home. Colour is a bit trickier, so I send that away but save money by not having prints and scanning the negatives myself.

Having said that, I'm sitting on a stash of about a dozen undeveloped rolls dating back to pre-covid so I'm not exactly on top of it these days!

@knud @Gargron It can vary tremendously depending on the film, the lab and whether you want prints, scans or both. Even the camera, too - a TLR will typically give you 12 6x6 shots per roll of 120 film, but other cameras will get you 16 (6x4.5) or only 8 (6x9).

Assuming a TLR and medium res scans on Ilford HP5+ film, you're looking at around £1.60 per shot at the lab I use.
