It's a cool little camera. One could also purchase a used Voigtlander Brillant, Yashicamat, or Rolleiflex for probably around the same money or less. To me, medium format is the way to go. I would think the hipsters that use these kinds of cameras would know how to hand-develop black and white film anyway, and it's very easy to drop off medium format color film at any wal-mart for send-off service.

(Especially considering that an entry level medium format TLR, with far more flexibility in exposure control, can be had for $159...)
