I don't know if I could crank fast enough to keep the battery in my Sony charged.. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost certain that the 'D' in M10-D did not come from 'Das'. In the German language, "Das" translates to "the". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specced the black dot for the LHSA Black Paint. Leica used it on the M8.2 and Microsystems made them stop. That’s why you can’t get them from Leica Parts dept. Leica just used the black dot logo on the Seal camera! Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

HP5 + seems to be the one to buy - AUD $11 here (single pack) versus AUD $16.60 (price per roll but only when buying a 10-pack) The only problem is I'm a sucker for the history of Tri-X !

Do you mean the ColorPlus 200? I bought three bricks last year for just under €50 each. Worked out at around €4.90 per roll. Now it’s over €70 for a brick a ten. The Fuji equivalent is just under €60. I wonder if there was some mistake in the price you paid for your Fuji200? Good for you if there was  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted October 18, 2022 Share #835  Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I'm going to give Kentmere 400 a try. $5/36 exposures is too good a deal to pass up, even if it isn't Tri-X. @Huss thanks for bringing this film to our attention.

LocalHero1953 Posted October 18, 2022 Share #836  Posted October 18, 2022 Which day this week is the new camera and lens to be revealed in Wetzlar? (The camera body and lens that are both to be postponed till another year - different yeas for each). We already know that it is a M6 and steel rim 35 Summilux.....or a carbon fibre M......low cost M.....same price M.......whatever... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in UK. I have been checking the photolab I have been using for the last few years and they have been out of stock for nearly 2 years.  I did try your approach and found some fuji 200 at a pharmacy chain (at a fairly steep price). Perhaps the film manufacturers are prioritizing supply for generic shops instead of specialist photo shops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
