Names and faces to bikes

True enough, but... developing! What a nightmare. I'd never be likely to do my own developing, which means learning on a 35mm slr (my dad has an old olympus - OM10/OM20 i think) becomes costly. I'm thinking £5 developing and a weeks wait for 20 wasted shots to see what I did right!

this is london mate, you got the best film labs here, plus, shooting 36 exposure allowed you to slow down and have a higher chance of a 'good photo' than shooting 100 of the same shot hoping for the best.

the fact that it cost a bit allowed you to actually concentrate properly, stop shooting like an American kids with an AK-47 at school, just keep it steady, shoot something you really think look great than randomly shoot summat for the hell of it.

a couple or so weeks, you'd notice a difference.

plus, I can't afford a digital camera, I can easily afford an Olympus Epic 35 (£5 in portobello), excellent camera that doesn't even need battery and it's auto-exposure, and then a couple of weeks learning to shoot with film, you'd end up getting a better eyes for shooting than paying £200-300 for a digital camera.
