>>4317879For color your only option is cinema film, meaning Kodak Vision. I don't have first hand experience with developing color or cinema film but I know that there is some extra steps, but I know that it could be also developed in normal C41 chemicals. I don't develop color film also because chemicals go bad quickly and I don't shoot enough color film anyway.
I shoot mostly BW, I do save money because I also make my own developer (pararodinal) I just buy the fixer and that is, its way cheaper of course and I get more control of it, and even so developing your own BW is not harder than making coffee.
Honestly the needed chemicals/tools for just developing BW would be probably less than 50 dollars if you look hard enough. What probably would cost more would be scanning it, if you have a digital camera already look into how to scan using that. I am lazy so I got a Minolta film scanners from the trash, cleaned it and that is what I use.
