>>4433095Just grab a cheap disposable from Walmart or something to see if you like it first.
Also you don't have to invest in your own darkroom and develop your own negatives.
Contrary to the loud minority, there's plenty of people that shoot then just drop off/mail their film at a film lab.
35mm is a good format to start with since it's cheaper for both the cameras and film and you get a lot more exposures per roll than medium-format. The cameras are also smaller and much more pocketable.
I wouldn't use film for all the pictures in my life though.
If I just want to take a picture of something neat or to share immediately, I'll use my phone.
If I want to take family photos on a trip/holiday or portraits, that's when I'll pull out the film camera.
Though I also shoot color positive film (Ektachrome, Provia) so I try to make my shots count instead of spamming out 3 rolls of film a day.
It's a great feeling when you get your negatives back after a trip and get a chance to look back at pictures/memories of the occasion for the first time again.
