>>3036056It's not that hard. Did you ever do chemistry lab in school? Can you follow simple written instructions and use a timer? Then you are more than qualified to mix up a couple of powders or syrups with water and pour them into your film tank for the appropriate amount of time. I find scanning to be a tedious time consuming pain in the ass, but it's also definitely not hard. Start with black and white, buy a bunch of rolls of Tri-X or whatever and look up what chemicals and supplies you'll need. After the initial purchases of all the equipment and a scanner, all you have to keep buying is film and chemicals (and paper if you get into wet printing later) which isn't really all that expensive unless you want to shoot a million rolls of film every week.
Film can be pretty satisfying, you feel like you really own the photos after taking them every step of the way from exposure to print with your own two hands. It's also a lot more time consuming and tedious than digital, though.
