Is Black and White Film Cheaper Than Color? Yes, But Not In The Way You May Think

While it is cheaper to purchase black and white film than color online or in stores, black and white film can be more expensive to have it developed through a mail-order company. However, black and white film is much easier and is generally less expensive to develop at home than color film. This is why it often recommended to send your color film out for processing through the mail and develop your black and white film at home.
