Of course only at Leica boutiques. Anything else would be gauche.
Zingo! What a great idea. Leica could use a guy like you in their marketing department. To make it even more unique, the film should only be available at Leica Boutique stores.
I just yesterday ordered 10 rolls of TMY and 10 rolls of TMX. That's enough b&w 35mm to last me a couple years.
Of course only at Leica boutiques. Anything else would be gauche.
And non-exclusive. And if you went down to a Leica Store, they would only have one roll to look at, and you would have to put your name on a waiting list. And maybe you would get your roll in a couple of months, or not. And then they would issue a special edition where the film cassette would be titanium and covered in an exotic leather. And...
You just gotta love Leica.
Restricting supply of the genuine Leica film improves the quality of the user’s output. Instead of dancing around willy nilly taking as many pictures as possible while hoping there is a decent one in the bunch, the true Leica shooter will contemplate each and every shot. Judging the scene on a scale of Bresson to Capa the worthiness of the image. Knowing how important it is to get it right, since the next roll of Leicaclassic 400 will not be delivered until the following spring.
With film prices today, everyone has become a Leica shooter.
Does Walmart sell Leica film?
That depends on what Leica is going to use for their film.
If they rebrand Xtra400, then yes. Technically, they do.
But you won't get the red dot or the black tape to cover it, so you'll be better off buying direct from Leica. Only the best will do, of course.
Here you go, Leica Film from 1932.
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.
Yes and it should come in a yellow box with "KODAK" in red letters.
no RedDot on their watches. For $12,000.00 you would assume a Red Dot at the very least. Leica has been running full page ads in Wall Street Journal weekend magazine for their watches.
If at the present time the manufacturers of film cannot make enough colour 35mm film for the current market, a niche branded and almost certainly overpriced film for an individual company has about a cat in hells chance of happening!
Leica cannot make enough MPs but they have managed to release a new M6. Everything is possible in the world of Leica.
They have no control over the likes of Kodak and Fuji who seem to be having a competition to see who can provide the worlds worst customer service. At the present there is nothing in it.
Adjusted for inflation the new M6 costs that same as the original M6. Which is better?
