It seems that we may really be getting close to the new Leica film camera announcement that has been rumored for a while.
The email sent by Leica today pointed to several dedicated film websites (click on the above screenshots for a bigger view):
- Leica Film Photography
- Analogue Photography
- There was also a link to the hashtag #leicafilmfriday
- I noticed an increase in film talk on the official Leica Twitter account:
