I want to be able to continue to use my old film camera: it gives me rather better pictures than I have been able to get from any kind of digital camera. So can anyone suggest an affordable way to do this? Buying a film locally costs me eight pounds, then having it developed another eight. Sixteen pounds for 24 pictures is a lot for me: surely there is some more economical way to do this.

Learn to develop the negatives yourself.
Invest in a negative scanner, scan your negatives and print your photos at home.

Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
