Subject: [Leica] Leica Monopan 50

I said that I might get a couple of rolls and try it! Well I have, or at 
least they are in the pipeline.

I was in my local camera shop buying various films to take on holiday 
and when they discovered that I have an M3 they asked me if I would like 
to put my name on their waiting list. So I put myself down for a couple. 
Due late August, date not committed to, but hey, its a delivery from 
Leica, so... ?

They said that they hadn't been able to ascertain what the film actually 
was except that it is definitively German. Leica weren't saying, but the 
shop said some characteristics were typical of one manufacturer, others 
of another. I think that on balance they suspect Adox.

The guy in the shop said that they couldn't work out how much demand 
there would be for it, at least in their shop, but it might be different 
in a bigger city.

Anyway, on all fronts, let's see.
