You can pick up a decent 35mm kit for $100 off Craigslist, if you are careful.

Difference between $100 and say $15/roll total costs vs. $700 kit = 40 rolls @ 36 slides each = 1440 exposures until you start spending more than if you bought digital.

(thanks to poster below, I have corrected my very bad math errors)



Sorry if I sound pedantic but your math is really wrong here.

Difference between the 2 kits: 600$. So 600/15 = 40 rolls, at 36 slides each, you're in for 1440 exposures.
