Leica should release its own film line

Seeing that they are releasing the new M6 due to overwhelming demand.  Why not also release a line of films to go with it?

Obviously rebranding.

Leicachrome for the reversal films - E100 or Ektachrome 100d respooled.

Leicaclassic for B&W - Leicaclassic HC (high contrast) which would be the amazing Catlabs 320 Pro

                                   - Leicaclassic 400 which would  be Kentmere 400 (gives that old school 400 vibe)

                                   - Leicaclassic 125 which would be FP4

Leicacolor for color    - Leicacolor 400 which would be Cinestill 400d

                                   - Leicacolor 200 which would be Fuji 200 or Kodak 200

Mark up the price by 50-100% for the privilege of using genuine Leica film in your genuine Leica.  Provide mailers for TheDarkroom (or whatever other lab).   Make money promoting film.

The least they can do is 36 for that price.  

Leica exclusive 37 exp rolls.  Even tho that's what you'd get already.  Kinda like when they changed the Summarit 35 and 50 lenses from 2.5 to 2.4...

Yeah. And with an QR-Code on every roll with a link to a YouTube- Turorial. For the dedicated new Leica- user to know how to handle this roll of Film...

Reading manuals ist not that common these days.

Rebranded Kodak C41 but of course made to tighter tolerances and with special Leica colours.

And a special Anti-Anti-Halation layer to ensure there will ALWAYS be the famed 'Leica Glow' in every single frame...
