Bought a Canon AE1 Program from Fleaby Market Place for £100. Someone selling his Uncle's camera for him. It's in cracking nick. It has a bit of Canon cough but I'll get someone experienced to sort that out. Yashica Matt is loaded with film as is the Canon. Looking forward to some decent light over the next week or so and the opportunity to step back in time. Best place to have the film developed?
 
I use Filmdev too.

Analogue wonderland aren't bad either as they include the tracked postage both ways so it's more straight forward. More expensive usually unless there is an offer on.

Developing (B&W) film is a very simple process, and allows a lot of control - think of it as the chemical version of Photoshop and ISO - use different developers for fine grain, or to increase effective ISO, and contrast.

Printing is more complex and requires both space and cost, but offers a very high level of control. In terms of efficiency, ease and cost, just shoot on digital, but if you want to achieve the full benefits of shooting on film then DIY is the way to go.
 
When the kids moved out MANY years ago, we set up a darkroom in the smallest bedroom. Loved it. I even bought a piece of hardboard and painted it to look exactly like an Ilford paper box and laid it full length on the floor instead of carpet. Well creative.
