We gotta face reality, film for as long as it still survives,
is now a minority specialist niche interest..

I'm all for encouraging and helping folks who want to try it,
but they'll need deep enough pockets
to be prepared for potential costly disappointments...

Actually, it might be fun for keener hobbyists
to try recreating the earliest DIY pioneer photographic process experiments.
Providing none of the chemicals are now prohibited
for sale to the public...???
