Founded in 2017, Negative Supply products have quickly become the new standard for digitizing film using your existing dedicated camera and macro lens, eliminating the need for slower in-home scanning methods. This event is tailored for all analog photographers, as the Negative Supply product line supports various film formats. With the SF store it may be difficult to gage Leica as a whole. I recently learned the 3 stores in Miami, SOHO (NY) and San Francisco are all privately owned stores; the remaining US Leica stores are company owned. As a result their websites and store sponsored activities are separate from the other Leica stores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and It could still be exacerbated following the close down of manufacturing a couple of years ago and the knock on effects. Last year I was told by 3 brick and mortar shops I frequent, one of which is also a big online presence, that obtaining supplies was very difficult. Even darkroom supplies. One place had 10.000 rollls on back order! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

haikos Posted October 2, 2022 Share #426 Â Posted October 2, 2022 What's interesting about this rumoured film camera is that normally, the usual spotters keep an eye on patent/wifi/bluetooth registrations and certifications which turn a rumour into an imminent release of a new model. The fact that this rumoured one has no connectivity, removes the possibility of showing up on the usual radars and thus, shrouded in a bit more mystery than usual. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted October 2, 2022 Share #427  Posted October 2, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) It’s just going to be a rebadged MP w M6  accoutrements released as the 23rd limited edition M6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madNbad Posted October 2, 2022 Share #428  Posted October 2, 2022 If it's going to be a special edition MP dressed up like the M6, it would be a nice touch if Leica used the "big" M6 badging. It seemed superfluous to have "Leica M6" and the Leica red dot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta100 Posted October 2, 2022 Share #429  Posted October 2, 2022 My MP has a M6 pressure plate fitted (screw less) at my request to prevent film scratching on the normal 4 screw plate. That was a very good mod by Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes companies set up special websites to launch new products - perhaps we should run a search to see if Leica has registered nozincthistime.com, itsanmpreally.com or allourfilmcamerasarebasicallythesamesanyway.com? 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the anticipation is causing the slight surge in number of M6 and TTL's for sale right now. Are we expecting a drastic drop in M6 prices?

Are we expecting a drastic drop in M6 prices? drastic drop prices ? the difference is in availability : - second hand M are available now - new M would take some time to deliver to customers - in near future, I don't think "drastic drop prices" would occur - two different classes of users, old and new customers/buyers - I hope I'm wrong though   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted October 3, 2022 Share #438 Â Posted October 3, 2022 Does Leica have embargoes on everything it releases? Â Limited edition as well as regular production models? Â Or only on regular production models? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bunting Posted October 3, 2022 Share #439 Â Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) What possible new features could be added to a film camera? Also, is the light meter in the M6 any good? I'm using an M2 with a KEKS KM02, which allows me to set aperture or shutter priority and gives me a recommended setting for the other, versus making me fiddle with both until I get a green light. I'm not sure what Leica could add that would tempt me, besides maybe faster shutter speeds. Edited October 3, 2022 by Jeremy Bunting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Limited edition as well as regular production models? Â Or only on regular production models? It may have more to do with the embargo and product restrictions to the U.S. from the EU enacted by the last administration. It's still hard to find some cognac and other products from France and often the prices are considerably higher than before the restrictions were put in place.
