Yep, I have an old Nikon FE with a beautiful 50mm f1.2 lens. I have a bag of film which all expired back in the 80s and still produce amazing photos. I'm trying to choose carefully what I snap at...
Not really. I've had a roll of Ilford HP5 in my OM-2 for about three years. I should probably finish it off and get it developed along with the roll in my freezer. I liked shooting BW, but I don't have a lab to work in, so it gets expensive having it developed elsewhere and control over development is limited.
I haven't shot film very much at all since college. I think I enjoyed working in the darkroom more than I did actually shooting the photos and now that I don't have access to a darkroom, I find myself reaching for the digital more often.
In total, from the local shop about $80. That's for the tank, thermometer, jugs, beaker, enough initial chemicals to process dozens of rolls, etc, and then it's just buying more ready-for-use developer once this gallon runs out. (all the rest of the chemicals are concentrated to make gallons and gallons of working solution)
