    NEWS FLASH: Both Photo John and Michael Fanelli recommend film cameras...

    Couldn't resist. I posted to this same topic in the Help Forum, so that's my story. Film will have the re-occuring costs of film itself, processing and printing but those prices are very reasonable. I buy film from B&H, the "made in USA for export" version of Kodak, for under $3 per roll. Cheaper yet would be buying a 100' roll and loading it into reusable cartridges yourself. If you want to master it, do it yourself (I am by no means anything more than a beginner at developing). Since so many people are giving it up for the digital darkroom, the equipment is very cheap. Look on ebay for used darkroom stuff, it's a buyer's market! And if you do go this route, consider a medium format enlarger to keep that possibility open down the road (used medium format cameras are getting cheaper all the time too).
