A few months ago I thought about getting a film camera since I really like the look of the pictures taken by that type of cameras and because I thought that being able to have some pictures in physical form would be cool.
I ended up getting a disposable Kodak FunSaver since it was just for testing anyways and because getting a reusable camera which quality would be better than the disposable would be too expensive for something that I would use twice a year at most.
However, I might change my mind and get a reusable camera though, since I have bought disposables for two trips in these last months and I have really enjoyed using them. I'm still not sure as to what to buy though.
One of the things that surprised me is how expensive the whole process of shooting film is, especially considering how an ISO800 film roll of 36 pictures could cost like 13€ and revealing it could cost another 15-20€. This is without taking into account the fact that there were always a bunch of photos that would end up wrong because of the lightning, bad focus... Regardless, this is something that I could solve with experience, and I think a bit of the fun of shooting film is learning how to do it.
Anyways, here are some pictures!

looks fun and cute. Having your pictures in a physical format (at least for me) increases the amount of times i look back at them and just think about the experiences i had at that time
hosimati suisei please
shooting film is pretty rewarding, to keep the cost down i process everything at home and shoot predominately black and white. ends up being like ~$15 a roll and then $2 worth of chemicals to develop.
slaying though!

stop to give up
i'm sorry i just saw this, finally someone else here that shoots film! really nice shots, i like the framing a lot. while i agree shooting film is ridiculously expensive these days, it does feel rewarding knowing you 'made' something.
if it's something you're willing to explore further i highly recommend that you get a cheapy point and shoot, if you want something automatic and compact, or a SLR camera, which requires some learning

I managed to get this point & shoot for 22€ (+ shipping) online. I will post some pictures I take with it eventually, hopefully it works and I haven't gotten scammed lmao
