I had a few generations of K mount film cameras (KM, super program, program plus, Pz-1p and a couple ZX series). Already had compatible lenses from digital, so it was fun to try them out, I called it a hands on museum. The nice thing about film cameras, if they're not collectible, is that you can buy and then sell without losing much if any money. And they tend to be cheap, so it's a relatively benign form of GAS. I've returned to shooting primarily digital now.

I like to try out various films, perhaps my favorites are tmax 400, ilford hp5, and portra 160. I have shot very little slide film, but whenever I get a roll of velvia it's amazing to see the colors and the image directly.

Don't know about labs in the UK, but I'll just say that processing bw at home is about as easy as cooking breakfast and quite fun as well.
