New films

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the camera, Leica announced their own branded film, the Monopan 50. It’s a 50 ISO black & white 35mm film, made in Germany. It has a lot in common with the Adox 50. It is likely to cost US$10 (£10/€12) a roll while the Adox HR-50 is priced at US$7.50 to be available in August 2025. I haven’t found a Canadian price yet.

In February Recently Harman Technologies released the Harman Red. Now Kosmofoto tells us it is being made in 120. Like with Phoenix, it’s always good to see them follow-up on medium format.
