>>4330482I just shoot film purely for novelty. Yes it is an expensive hobby but many hobbies are expensive: cars, bikes, fitness, gaming, fishing, camping and so on. Sometimes the challenge of shooting film and the achievement of getting a nice print is the reward. I find the whole process very interesting and satisfying, more so than taking digital raws and sitting down in front of a laptop.
Call me delusional but I think the magic of prints is that they are not meant to be shared to social media. There will be a limited number of individuals who get the privilege of seeing the print in person. There is scarcity and there is uniqueness. Even getting 2 identical prints is challenging.
