The Price of Analog hardware was very expensive if you wanted good stuff-Noctilux, Lihoff with Zeiss glass etc. I think that the cost of film and processing depends very much on the style of shooting. Thirdly, the price of film and processing has been radically lowered in Hong Kong at least. Thanks to digital. in purely financial terms the most expensive part of film photography is the film and processing, not the hardware.
