Huss Posted October 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Edited October 24, 2022 by Huss 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Hi Huss, Take a look here Leica should release its own film line. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lmans Posted October 25, 2022 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2022 Don't kid yourself...this might be something that might occur.... but Kodak is still strong at least...and for BW I like Fomopan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Aryel Posted October 25, 2022 Share #8 Posted October 25, 2022 Whilst at it, I think they should make a nice film scanner as well 😊. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madNbad Posted October 25, 2022 Share #9 Posted October 25, 2022 They could bring back long leaders and make all the Barnack crowd happy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the dedicated new Leica- user to know how to handle this roll of Film... Reading manuals ist not that common these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomas Posted October 25, 2022 Share #19 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) This has to be Kodachrome! But if it happens I'm afraid it would be just ordinary Gold 200 in a golden cage. Edited October 25, 2022 by fotomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anbaric Posted October 25, 2022 Share #20 Posted October 25, 2022 How about Leica lithium EP ('Electronic Perfection') button cells, carefully curated by artisan battery makers and plated red to recall Leica's distinctive Red Dot? M6/MP warranty void if you use a cheaper brand. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
