What is a reasonable amount for an amateur hobbyist photographer to spend on film annually?

$500-2500 is a reasonable annual expense for any hobby, more if it's a top hobby or have money

$10,000
a roll of film is $10 and an average photographer shoots 1,000 rolls of film per year

It's 2025 so zero

When you're pro you can start to use film, sparingly

My parents used like 2-3 rolls à 24 shots per year in the 80s

My personal mindset is 1-2 rolls per weekend event, maybe 5-6 rolls per vacation on vacation.
