if i do ever shoot 35 mm again, i'll probably switch to a less old camera.
the canon ae-1 program was my first camera (it was new when i got it in the last millennium), but autofocus and a quieter shutter would be nice.
i have an underutilized pentax z5(-n?), but i would need more lenses for it to be practical.
it's just... shooting film is such a commitment, at least for me. and it's not cheap!
photochemistry is pretty cool, though.
the other thing i would need if i was going to try doing my own developing again is a decent negative scanner. flatbed scanning is so time consuming and fidgety.
all the fidgey manual things can be desirable parts of the craft, but i have at least 60 frames of c-41 process that i'll probably never scan under current conditions. i either need to pay for processing or get decent tools that help reduce the friction of getting things done.
and c-41 negatives are not (or haven't been) exactly archive quality materials. gotta make cat pics for the ages, you know (ektachrome might be better, or whatever the fujifilm version of that is if kodak doesn't do that anymore).
the takeaway is scan your color negatives, people.
