But, for now, I scoff at your scoff.


Sir, are you trying to start a scoff war? I scoff at the very thought of it.

I gotta use 'languid' more. A delicious way of projecting disdain.

Pfffft, amateur.

Go scratch some film, I've got some Puts reading to get back to. Talk about delicious.

Please, no, let’s not go down that particular rabbit hole. Although I wasn’t so polite, I’d taunt you avec langueur about your ineffectual scoff.

(And I’m not even going to try to apologise for going this far off topic. Any apology I could make just wouldn’t be sincere.)

Made in Germany film- Seems reasonable and I hope Leica continues to invest and support the film making process!

Time for Leica to sell color filters in more than just three sizes: 39, 43 and 49mm.

That's better than I expected from a price perspective.

So... Covestro? Don't they manufacture a lot of "made in Germany" film?

I think there may be a clue in these two graphs ….

Nevertheless, if Leica doing this encourages more use of film, good for them.

I was tempted to say that not having their own branded film was an itch that Leica had to scratch, but that would have been churlish, so I’m not going to.

I've always thought there was a gap in the filter market for a circular polariser with for example yellow glass - to eliminate stacking of filters.

Let's take it as a hopeful sign that Leica is committed to making film cameras.

The red dashed lines make all the difference - they match the Leica logo.

Haha yes as soon as I read about sensitivity up to 780nm + the high resolution my immediate guess was Adox, seems that was correct

"Made in Germany" is another hint.

One roll of 36exp ISO 50 film?
$15,000

Did I mention it comes with a free lens?
