There seems to be a growing belief that enjoying film photography in 2026 requires a Leica M6 around your neck, a bag full of Kodak Portra and a bank account healthy enough to cover the cost of every shutter press.
I love beautiful cameras as much as anyone, but film photography does not have to be an exclusive club reserved for those willing to spend thousands on equipment. In fact, I think the best way to enjoy film today might be with the cheapest compact camera you can find.
