Huge time sink for B&W, but sure nice to do, a major pain for color and close to impossible for slide film.
The latter was what I basically learned on, back the day, being allowed to sport my dad's back-up F4. Had to tie a knot in the sling for it to not bounce on the ground when I had it around my neck, me being too small.
Digital is so much easier, until you want to print. Upside of learbing on film, you are much more carefull at which pictures you take.
Maybe, one day, I'll get some B&W film and pull out said F4 again. Big maybe so, as I simply don't have the time to develop film on top of everything else...
