Yes. I've fallen down that rabbit hole.
I process my own B&W by loading into a tank in a changing bag and doing the wet stuff in the laundry sink.
There aren't many film options any more.
For B&W, Fuji Acros has almost no reciprocity failure. HP5+ is probably the next best. Neither of them see much H-alpha.
For colour films (negative or slide), Fuji wins here too. The newer Kodak Gold 200 is looking promising.
The best thing that you can do for film photography is get to a dark sky.
Below is Crux on 4"x5" film, the moon on glass plate, Orion with a Box Brownie, and M42 with a de-lensed Box Brownie at prime focus of an ST-80 telescope.
I have some colour 35mm stuff too but need a better scanning option.
Steve.
