Quite a while ago, I bought some Kodak Ultramax 400 film. I don't remember why. I think the plan was to use it in my Nikon F80 for snapshots. It took me a while to use it up and then send it away for developing and scanning, along with a roll of Ektachrome 100 and Ilford XP2 Super 400. Out of those four rolls of film, I had thirteen keepers, a rate of 9%. Not bad, I suppose, though I should have been more careful. The cost of the film, delivery, development, and scanning cost me 163,000 Won, which means each keeper cost me 12,538 Won. Holy crap. If I include every photo on those rolls (144 frames), the cost is 1,132 Won. Still not cheap. I have two rolls of film at home at the moment. Possibly my last.
One of the places I photographed on the Kodak 400 was the village of Yongchon. I've posted photos from there many times before, but here are a few more . . .

I like the look of film, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. Especially since I'm not working. The money I spent recently on film and developing might have been better spent on a digital photography post-processing course . . .
