I like the Olympus camera that I purchased 40+ years ago.

6. I'll add to what I said above-- I had a functioning darkroom years ago and...

did my own developing and printing. Mostly B&W, but some color. Color was largely formulaic, and you couldn't really make the subtle changes like you can do with B&W.

Even did my own Type C Color and Ektachrome, but rarely worth the trouble. Kodachrome has to be done by a lab because the couplers aren't in the film and have to be added during processing. Carefully.

Bought 100' foot rolls of Tri-X and loaded my own cartridges. Shot like you shoot digital nowadays and threw away 90% of the stuff. I used a stock Kodak developer DK-50 and tried making it from scratch, but wasn't worth the trouble. I did make my own paper developer-- a two bath developer where you started making a boldly contrasty print (On low-contrast paper) and then moved it into a less contrasty solution to fill in the gaps. It extended the tonal range of the print way beyond anything you would imagine.

Then, some of them I had printed to 30x40 matte paper and hand colored them with Marshall's oils. Sold a bunch of those.

Moving up to 6x6 film made everything even nicer in B&W. Never got the Hasselblads I drooled over, but can't imagine how much better they would have been than my Minolta C-330.

On edit-- Panatomic X was incredible. Absolutely no grain if you did it right.
