I took 7 frames this weekend at a total cost of $12.66, or roughly $1.82 each. And that's ignoring the cost of developing, scanning or printing.
Once you shoot 4x5, 35mm cost per frame seems insignificant.

Xray film.
Expired Xray film.
Xray film from hospital that's switching over.
huhI consider shooting with expired film to be akin to a gambler's addiction.
you must be joking .....There is another technology widely available where pictures can be produced endlessly at no cost and no consequences.
Doesn't do IR photography very well. I consider shooting with expired film to be akin to a gambler's addiction.
When I go up in format I take fewer shots. The way it feels? I pretty much shoot the same square inches of film no matter where my adventures take me.I took 7 frames this weekend at a total cost of $12.66, or roughly $1.82 each. And that's ignoring the cost of developing, scanning or printing.

What is the per frame cost?
36 exp roll is $7.90 but the bulk 100' roll is $107.00. Thank you
The only non-household necessity aside of the film are cassettes to fill.today, the cost of bulk loading is not a huge savings, in fact the cost of the equipment to do the bulk loading will eat any savings off your first couple of bulk rolls.

Typically reloadable cassettes are used, where one takes out the spool and winds the film on. But used cassettes can be employed too, if they have not been broken open and a piece of film is still sticking out. Problem here is the safe sticking together of the film ends. Once tackled, this approach means zero equipment costs for bulk loading.
(assuming that you purchase a loader and reloadable cassettes, you could however do the entire process with nothing more than scissors, a roll of tape, and a bunch of old 35mm cassettes that you saved.)
True 4x5 and up makes 35mm cost trivialI took 7 frames this weekend at a total cost of $12.66, or roughly $1.82 each. And that's ignoring the cost of developing, scanning or printing.

I love listening to the prices you guys get for film. To buy tri-x here it's $16 and another $21 to process it and provide low res scans. Develop and prints (no scans) is $28! Then you have to add 15% sales tax. About $43 bucks to shoot a roll and get low res scans. That doesn't even give me any prints! The cheapest I can buy film locally is Ilford delta 100 for $9. It's an expensive hobby but you have to spend your money on something.
I don't really care as long as I get something worthwhile on it.What is the per frame cost?

You may get a kick out of refining your own crude oil into gasoline or raising your own sheep to spin your own wool. I thought, since the neolithic revolution, we don't have to do it all ourselves anymore.No one has mentioned the packaging reduction aspect. If you are using reloadable cassettes, then there is less waste generated per roll than with standard prepackaged rolls.
I roll my own just for the fun of it, not really the cost savings or the environmental impact, just for the fun of it. I'm into film because it is more tactile and I get to interface with the tangible world, and loading my own film is just one more part of that interaction.
Joking? Not really. This very day I saw a person produce and display dozens of pictures in a few minutes at no cost and without the consumption of any material substance. They used a telephone.you must be joking .....
the only device that is similar to the one you have described is it the eyeballs on one's head and the brain they are attached to.
images produced endlessly no cost no consequences -- old tech.

With 35mm my cost per frame is 1/2 of most comments here.What is the per frame cost?

Unless it has changed in the last few days Ultrafine has been out of its house brand B&W film for months. If they ever have it back in stock who knows what the price will be. My guess is that the price will go up 20-30%.If you’re willing to try something other than Ilford or Kodak bulk film, you can cut the cost in half. I’m bulk loading Ultrafine Finesse 400 and it compares favorably to HP5+. Foma/Arista Edu is slightly more expensive, but the 200 ISO film is really nice.

Only true with my Pen F though.
