The decisive moment ...

... when you realise that all that money and time you've spent might just have been worthwhile. Who needs however many thousand ISO modern digital cameras can do when you can do this at ISO100, at night.

Even though Ektachrome is now about £50 a roll when processed: more than £1 each exposure. Oh and then I need to spend lots of not-fun time scanning it all. And pay for prints which are at least fairly cheap.

Colour film photography is now a rich person's hobby, and I am not a rich person.

But looking at these things through a loupe is like looking at jewels.
