Leica Monopan 50

[4season]

A great pity they missed the opportunity to put a proper long-tongue leader for Barnack cameras

Just wait for the Leica-branded scissors.

Why, when they can sell you an over-priced ABLON?

Watch for a 50-Year Anniversary Zircon-Encrusted ABLON with a Red Dot!

I can't believe they would use AI-generated imagery for their marketing material.

They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

So, f/0.95, f/1.4, f/2 and f/2.8 get the same shutter speed 1/1000. (I know Leica film cameras are topped at 1/1000) but that is over 2 stop difference, so you either over expose massively or underexpose massively. I dont know how HR50 holds that but that will make the photos very contrasty or washed out. For perfect cat pictures

Each aperture is for a different condition: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and indoors. That’s what the icons next to each mean. (Or something like that. I’m just remembering having watched the video.)

Thanks, now that makes more sense

A friend inforns me that Leica is also releasing a film developer for the centennial that I can't resit to share..

So, you are basing the "it's probably not PanF+" on some other fact (something like PanF+ is not good enough film for Leica, etc.) and not on the statements from the past 20 years of Harman existence that no Ilford film is or will be sold under any other name?

I like a few other people have been on a tour of the Ilford factory. When I was there in their film spooling machine was a hopper of empty cassettes with 'Ferrania' printed on them........ But it is not beyond Ilford's skill to manufacture other film, Kentmere is the one we know about so.......

As regards HR-50, or not, we will have proof if it stops at frame 36, and it will be Ilford if it stops at frame 38. No, it's HR-50 honestly.

Maybe ADOX can re-release it as well :

I was *JUST* about to make the joke of "oh, they should name it "Leicanol", just gotta make the "O" a red dot"

This is nothing new, we all know (or maybe not?) Harman converts film for A LOT of other companies/brands.

Never has anyone provided any proof that there is a HP5+/Delta100/... in a canister with other branding than Ilford. Can you?
