One last point, I live and work in Los Angeles, so I have the benefit of world class labs and a support system that doesn’t start a sentence with “why are you still shooting film?” I hope people have access as well, but if you don’t…I forget that as film is dwindling, this is a difficult option to go with. I just hope most who want to do it professionally would love the what and why they do it enough to research voraciously the craft. As the OP has.

Again, even in my 30’s (and 15 years of developing my own neg), I am still learning the characteristics of film. And the magic that seems absent in digital.

I love it.
