I wouldn’t say it’s gotten too expensive. I’m averaging about 2ish euros a photo with my medium format camera.
Each roll depending on the maker is 10-15 euros with 5 euro development fee. The most I’ve ever paid was 20 euros per roll.
If film ever runs out and I still don’t want to give up analog photography, I’ll use glass plates.
I think film is a bit too hard to do yourself. Case in point is Harmon Phoenix. You should take a look at their process because they are the 3rd maker of film emulation in the modern era.
Is film getting more expensive or hard to find? I remember seeing a post about someone hording them in a drawer in case there’s no more for sale.
Also, can film be made at home NileRed style? Maybe that can keep the community going if the big companies stop making them.

See I’m curious about film but then I see the prices and I’m less interested… Though I’ve only really been doing photography since April
Developing black and white film is really cheap and easy. I think it’s just developer, fixer, and an all in one film developer container.
Color film is a little more intimidating for me since it’s easier to over or under develop.
A white vinegar stop bath is optional but will extend the life of your fixer. Rinse aid at the end will help avoid residue streaks when drying.
