You shot 1250 to 2500 rolls of film a year; you must have had a business? (3 – 6 rolls every day of the year)
That's about how much film I have shot in my life, after 40 plus years of being into photography.
I only average 1 roll a week, or about 50 rolls a year. So for me film is way cheaper, as the 35mm/6x7 cameras are peanuts compared to the cost of a 645D/Z, which will only last five – seven years at best. The film 35mm/645/6x7 bodies will last decades. At my pace I can shoot film for about 9 years for the cost of a 645Z.
