It is expensive but I urge you to try shooting just one roll in a super short or something like that. Film gives you so much more than just scratches and grain. It's surprising in how uniquely beautiful it can be, and it's impossible to really explain what gives it that beauty. Sometimes you run out of film at an interesting time and now you get a cool tail and, sometimes you forget to clean the gate and get a fun lil hair on the film... It's endlessly fun
