I love film photography and would love to use film over digital but the reality gets in the way, I suppose that I'm lazy but the whole developing and scanning part is effort, that said I have no desire to send my film off and do feel the need to 'own' the process
I've shot film a few times in the past and love the results, also I've got undeveloped film which is now about 3 or 4 years old, there's a load of unexposed film in my fridge, a few nice cameras for me to use (Nikon FM, F100, Mamiya RB67 and even a Sinar P), chemicals (which have probably gone off - the previous lot were given away about 6 years ago) and an Epson V700 stored away
What I need is the ability to put the film in magic box and then sit down and have the scanned images available ready and waiting on my laptop. I suppose (without sending away for develop and scan) how much can the process be simplified and if anyone else feels anything like I do how to rationalise things to tip the balance of effort vs enjoyment in favour of the latter?
