Somehow that doesn't stop me from setting up my monorail to take snapshits of birds.
A bird snapshit using expired fomapan 400 comes out to $1.78 per exposure. Paying to have this developed is $6 for a total of $7.78 per exposure.
A bird snapshit with HP5+ costs $0.277 per exposure, and plus $0.361 for a total of $0.638 when it's developed in a lab, plus or minus given your local rates.
That means that you would need to shoot ~12 times fewer shots for that logic to work out to break even. If you're shooting only 3 sheet film exposures in the time it takes you to shoot a 36 roll, then sure. I'm certainly averaging more than that at my current pace.
Plus I just like doing things myself
