Why this price
The price, in units we actually use
Software prices float in the abstract. Film prices don't. So here is the full price, measured the way I think about it myself.
At the lab
One season of scans
Labs charge per roll to scan, every roll, forever. FilmBench costs a few months of that, once, and then the bill stops.
In chemistry
A couple of dev kits
That's the full price, in chemicals. A kit runs a handful of rolls, then it's spent and you mix more. You buy FilmBench once.
