>>3046805The only true answer. You will be able to start by getting a $30 slr and bunch of film that expired 5 years ago for around $10. You just get it developed at the cheapest lab and then you look for a used scanner which is like $100. But it is worth it since photolabs are doing shit scan and getting prints every single time also eats up some money.
After all you still have it far cheaper than getting just one digital camera body. You will find whole sets with flashes, multiple lenses and more for 20-40 bucks easily for analog cameras.
Even if you decide you don't like photography, you can easily sell your stuff for the same price you got it for, if not more.
Digital only is more convenient, which you pay alot extra for. There is a reason basically everyone post processes their digital shots to look like film.
