Digital is Cheap
So often I’ve heard that digital cameras, at least DSLRs, are too expensive; and that “film” (I assume they mean 35mm here) is much cheaper.
Well that is such bullshit! The Voigtlander Vito CL I bought online a few weeks back was definitely cheap. Though older than me, it had been unused in its box its entire life, so was essentially brand new. It cost less than all but the cheapest of digital point and shoots and seemed like an amazingly good deal.
Now several weeks later the cost of the film we’ve bought, as well as the processing, has surpassed the actual cost of the camera. The dark room equipment I rescued from my fathers garage will keep the costs of making a darkroom down, but there will be many things I do still need to buy/replace.
Now this doesn’t come as a surprise to me as I did do enough research before diving into film. Yet you still see people saying digital is too expensive and film is much cheaper. I calculate that within a year, the cost of my film equipment will have surpassed that of the digital, and that is including the cost of my computer in with the digital camera.
Thankfully I didn’t get into film to save money.
