800 ISO CN film is still manufactured and available rebranded in types 135 and 127. (I know there once was even much faster film...)
E-6 films are still made by two manufacturers. All available to consumers.
We've already lost Kodachrome, infra red and high speed colour negative films, and are reliant on a single manufacturer for transparency material.

Question 1, who sells the 127
Question 2, who sells E-6 besides Fuji?
Links to shops with good pricing would be ideal if you don't mind sharing.

Not exactly over the counter consumer product then? The point I'm making, and this is no shrill doom-mongering as I'm an enthusiastic film user, is product lines are diminishing year on year and there is no commercial technological film research currently. I'm sure there were Leica users who used, say, Kodachrome exclusively and are no longer able to do so. What if Tri-X disappeared, what if Leica users were reliant on 200 ISO colour negative stock, or far-eastern 100 ISO monochrome? Would Leica investment values hold up at that point? It's hard to say, as even an ancient Leica 1 can theoretically shoot film currently but if they became purely museum objects..?That Nightbird in both formats has of course to be twisted and re-spooled for normal use. But still bettter than no such film at all.
There had been digital sensors on the market that could substitute a type 135 cartridge in some camera models. Long gone...
Leica is moving back to Wetzlar right on time for the 100th anniversary of the brand.
..
But what does this mean with the theme of this thread in mind? A good or a bad sign?
If film production dissappears and Leicas exists , Leica company would find a way to be able to use these Leica I II III and others with digital sensors. I wish this would not happen in next 15 years and new technology would be able to deliver better pictures cheaper, not now. May be they would be able to print circuit on thin film , once installed , no need to remove it until next model. I did not hear a film thickness HR CCD technology yet but may be exist today.
Then at least they'll have paleontologists as clients...
And Apuggers...
Leica has basically stated that they only make film cameras for the nostalgic now...
..They see digital as the future, and probably couldn't care less if film disappeared off the face of the planet...
First of all, we’re still producing M7 and MP cameras. We’re producing them because there is a demand for it — small, but quite stable. As long as this demand exists we will also be making these cameras. Technically speaking, from a quality point of view, there is no real reason to stick with film. Especially if you take an M Monochrom which is producing beautiful black-and-white pictures, one of the last domains of film, black-and-white film. There is not really a technical reason to shoot film.

I think that says it all.
Then I got zorki 4 and some other soviet cameras - they were terrible.
I wish I got Leica in the first place, it would be much cheaper and less stressful. Now when I have M6 and M3 I know that there is no need for another rangefinder camera in my life.
Find the one you can prove was used by hitler's personal photographer.
I would not buy a Leica even if I was a millionaire. I like SLR:s. Even though a nice camera can give a certain satisfaction, it is still all about the image. I want to see what I get!
yeah i agree but a split second i do not know ifBut with an SLR you don't see what you get, as you lose sight of it the moment you press the shutter.
was SPOT ONA cameras value is only in the pictures it creates.
Theoretically yes, but in practice you see what you shoot...But with an SLR you don't see what you get, as you lose sight of it the moment you press the shutter.
