As I looked into the developing the negatives my self, I quick realized that I would still need to scan in the negatives to be able to see how the photograph turned out. Is there a way to get an idea for what the photographs look like without having a full scanning setup? I know I'll eventually get into it, but the startup cost is too high for me at the moment... thanks!

Thank you all for the recommendations! I think I'm going to give both Kentmere 400 and Tri X 400 a try. After looking at various examples, I'm drawn to the "old school" look of Tri X, but Kentmere will definitely allow me to practice more. I don't have a light meter of any sort so I'll look into those. I was just going to try practicing Sunny 16 but if I can get a meter on the cheap, why not use it check my light assessments. As for developing, I wasn't thinking about doing it my self but you all got me looking into it. There's some startup up costs so I'll have to do a RoI assessment to pitch to my wife for acquiring more equipment on a venture I just got started in 😆

Hi everyone, I just recently purchased a Rolleicord V in very nice condition. This is my first film camera and also my first venture into taking photography more seriously. What 120 B&W and color films would you recommend for a newby? I guess criteria I'm thinking about is cost (cheaper, I can afford to buy more) and latitude (I'm sure I'll be making tons of exposure mistakes). Anything else I should be including in the criteria? thanks!
