Thanks for looking and your kind comments Montie.

This one cost $6K
If 35mm film and processing runs about $10/roll
Not including scanning time
that's about 600 rolls of film.

A few rolls a week x 2 years
No scanning time.

Seems to be holding its resale value extremely well.
So may actually more rightfully come down to $ 0.50 a roll
Depending on how many frames and when its sold.
;~)

Though at this point in my life it really comes down to:
will this tool provide both the pleasure
and the results that I want to achieve?

So far feels like an easy, "Yes."
