Effectively $23.80 or $23.24 (eBay Plus) per roll. Stack with cashbacked gift cards to save more.
They will once some social media bellend makes it popular again.
funny, I asked a rellie in their mid 20's who is a professional photographer about it. "yeah it's a insta trend, i get asked a lot. I did some & similar shots on a digital camera & some Photoshop filters, everyone preferred the Photoshop versions."
I understand vinyl being popular because of the theatre, but this is like cassettes, inferior in every way.
It comes down to appreciating the process rather than just the end results. Yes, anyone can apply a filter to a digital photo to try and approximate film. But it's still an approximation versus the real thing.
Also, it can be argued that film forces you to be more thoughtful and deliberate in framing your photos, as you only have a set amount to play with.

I totally disagree. Maybe for colour, which I don't particularly like in film but B&W film is so much better than digital. I shoot both, professionally and as a hobby.
Trying to imitate film with digital is like trying imitate Dolly Parton with silicon
You don't think film has theatre? Old cameras, loading your film with only 36 shots per roll, one 'look' per roll, going down to the lab and then the excitement of getting your shots back. Many people develop at home too.
Plus it's so cool to use my dad's 45 year old camera which he was using when he was my age.
No different to vintage watches, cars or guitars. Sometimes it's nice to mix things up and have fun with stuff that isn't the latest and greatest.
