if you shoot a roll of film every outing then yes it can become expensive so why not try being VERY selective of when you fire the shutter ( ie on scenes that really please you) , that way you may find that 36 exposures can last quite a while and ffer you a great deal thus making the cost seem negligible.
I definitely agree with this. I no longer shoot film myself, but when I did I tried to make every shot count. That's very different to the "take lots of shots and come home with a full card" mentality.
Of course, to an extent it depends on our goals and what we're shooting. With the likes of street photography it would be possible to go through a lot of film! But in other contexts it's all too easy with digital to shoot lots more inconsequential images.
And as someone in this thread has wisely pointed out: "It's the picture not it's quality that often (but by no means always) matters." Striking content typically trumps technical expertise and tons of resolution.
