Just in case anyone was curious about how involved ZNM can get, I wanted to post some numbers for folks. Please note that posted zeni prices for pops are APPROXIMATE as they can be higher depending on demand. Also note that HQ camera takes 48 pics, and 1 stack of film takes 12 pics. Furthermore the costs listed under requirements use a conservative valuation where Sanraku is only giving 65 Zeni per pic. Understand that your own experiences may vary so only use the info posted here as a guideline.
