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?
