So apparently the folks at Leica still believe in film, or at least think they can make a buck off film camera sales. Announced today the Leica M-A…. basically a Leica MP Classic… no electronics, pure mechanical M! Let’s hope the rest of the industry takes notice and stops the rush to our digital demise as a medium.
There were a lot of rumors about a new Monochrome camera this year…. apparently the rumors were true- load a roll of Tri-X in this and it is a true Monochrome camera!

$5000 for a film camera body? Not even a lens? I love film, but, come on…
Well, at least someone out there is still making new film cameras…
While I love that Leica will make film cameras, I think I’d rather see something a bit more affordable on the market.
Kind of nice. Kind of way too expensive for what it is, especially when you can buy a nice M4 for less than a thousand.
A meter would have been nice too. Leica always acted as though adding a meter was some kind of concession, and they charged another thousand for it, when every other manufacturer since about 1975 included internal metering for almost no incremental cost.
