I'm guessing that the only film camera leica makes now is its re-issue of the M6. Am I wrong? Regards, Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_watson1 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Just more bluesky magical thinking about the storied--and unconvincingly-documented--"film comeback." Seriously? Only Leica's auditors and accountants will fill us in on actual sales next year. Till then, the fanboys are just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodak is ramping up old formulations and Harman / Ilford are releasing new color films. Lots and lots of film stocks in BnW and color to choose from. Now if you want to shoot stock photos or decor then by all means continue using your cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Show me the production numbers, not promo blather. Current film material prices are extortionate. Besides, why aren't long-gone film labs rising from the dead to service the explosion(sic) in film use? Just askin'... BTW, nice film porn still life!
