Leica Survey and Film Ms

So I just took the 'Leica Survey' hosted by LUF and was dismayed by the very first question - it asks which Leica cameras you're using and lists all of the digital cameras but no film cameras.  They're relegated to 'Other'.  Many of the other questions are geared towards digital cameras as well (questions about firmware upgrades, etc.).  I suppose this is to be expected at this point, but Leica does currently have two film cameras in its lineup, you'd think that they would at least be given first-class citizen status in the survey.  

Minor rant over 😋

The suits often fail to look past the forest to see the trees😅

Agreed. Also, we see Leica's next attempt at profitability - the user will begin paying for firmware updates. Sad, really. Zero customer support.

Maybe they could make the next film body (the M-F, perhaps) incompatible with standard 35mm cassettes, and instead offer a choice of 'specially curated' emulsions by subscription, like Nespresso pods?
