bigfatfish said:if u dont mind the extra work of bringing film to develop , collecting it and not knowing if it turns out well...yeah you should get a film SLR. I think film is great for hobby.
anyway, film cost about 3-5 dollars per roll since you are so lazy to find out. in addition, the cheaper workflow is to develop and scan to CD. Some shops let you do that. Total cost of everything is $4(film)+$3(developing)+$2.50(scan to CD)= $9.50 for 36 exposures.
Wha please tell me where you can find base16 scanning for $2.5 per roll. All the shops i know charge liek $9-$6 for scannign1 roll of 36 to CD.
