>>3450227That's what I'm going to do, but it's still expensive. Initial investment in developing equipment, chemicals, scanning setup cost quite a bit. And I don't shoot enough within the shelf limit a year to make chemicals cost effective. If you account everything including cost of water and electricity (for heating water in C-41/E6) it still good like ~5 eur a roll and a lot of your time.
>>3450260>explainWell, I live in Sweden. Going by fotoimpex rates its 5-8 eur for b/w or c41 developing plus 10 eur to scan. Then factoring in shipping fee both ways, even if you send in 5 rolls for developing and scan at a time it still cost like 17 eur per roll. Local labs aren't available. And the scans resolution are only 1228x1818px for medium format and 2400x1600 for 35mm, absolutely garbage.
Compare that to $1.5 development fee (machine processing) + high quality scans (6800x4500px @ 300 dpi or 4800x4800px for 6x6 medium format using scanner of choice (Noritsu Koki or Fuji SP-3000), you can ask for push/pull at no additional cost. Shipping fee is $1 for a whole bunch of rolls. Processing time is 1 hour if you come to the lab, or 1-2 days if you send the roll by mail or if its BW film. I don't think you can get it cheaper than that anywhere.
Sure I could invest in scanners and home developing (and did) but the initial cost is pretty high, the scan quality from consumer scanner will never come close to the Noritsu/Frontier/Fuji lab scanner, hours of tweaking the scans won't be fun either.
