I want to get back into shooting film. How's the film and film camera market looking since 5 years ago?

Lots of cheap VISON3 repacks and a few new good cheapies from Lucky. Fuji is mostly gone but Kodak is good. Film cameras are mostly a lot cheaper than a few years ago but some meme'd shit is insane to funko collectors. But that's no issue if you actually shoot.

that's gonna be a problem for OP then

Prices are still shit if that's what you mean.

buying and hoarding is not a hobby
one good camera, three to four good lenses, never need to buy another one, ever

Nope. If a camera is a good deal I buy it. I have three F2's. Don't shoot with any of them.
If a camera is a good deal but it's too far away and a good deal, I just inform the seller that they're not asking enough so it doesn't hurt the value of my collection.

Yep I don't see the harm in making money while also enjoying a hobby. Most of my kit was also bought at 50% or less of market value.

Why do you think people own multiple bodies?

Don't assume, baby boy

This is what I figured. I got out of it and went digital because I had not the budget at the time to keep shooting film. I'm just hoping it stabilized instead of continuing the pace I saw 5-6 years ago

I don't hoard. I've got one working camera already, sure, but I want a Pen F. It's been in the back of my mind for the better part of a decade, but I've never pulled the trigger on buying it. I have an Agat 18k, but I don't consider it to be working since it's only questionably reliable.

I'd say prices are still pretty garbage but availability isn't as bad as it was during COVID.

I buy Sears KSX 1.7s for around $20, low-ball if you have to
