This picture doesn't do this justice the colors are so deep and beautiful. I can't wait to spin this!
The other night, George asked what fate was. Not sure how I answered, but if I'd seen this, I would have said this is tempting it.

This osprey kept flying over its nest with the fish trying to lure
the youngster out. It came up a couple of times but wouldn't leave the nest. It was quite a sight.
E beat C to the egg, promting C to scream "It's not fair, I saw it first!" You know, the usual sibling stuff. And yes, E is using a Halloween bucket for his eggs. Sigh...
While I was at the Real Canadian Superstore today, this deal was a little tempting, given that today was one of those days in which no taxes were charged on your purchases.
Talk about tempting! Look what we had delivered to the office - the Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers Fairtrade Creamy Milk blocks that we're including in your Coffee Break packs.
On March 3 and 4, 2026, Lyon, France, we had a couple of clear days announcing with pleasure the coming spring. I was then tempted to test both the Kodacolor 100 negative color film recently marketed directly par Eastman-Kodak, Rochester, N.-Y, USA, and , a the first color film, with my brand-new Leica M-A (see below details about the camera and lens used) and its Leica Summilux 1:1.4 f=35mm « Classic » lens.
When preparing the film for loading the camera, I realized that the film is coated on thin PET (polyester teraphtalate) basis instead of the classical cellulose acetate that the modern new formula for many Eatsman-Kodak productions. It has some advantages as a flat film before and after proceesing and reduced time of drying. Eastman-Kodak does not provide at now any technical data about this Kodacolor 100 ISO film.
I exposed the film for its given 100 ISO sensitivity using a Minolta Autometer III (year 1985) with its selective 10° viewfinder for reflected metering privileging the shadow areas and, occasionally, its hemispheric opale dome for incident metering.
The Summilux Leica lens was equipped with its protective Leica UV-IIa protective E46 (46mm) screwed film (Ref. Leica 13034) and its specific circular Leica shade hood Ref. 12486. For operation, the camera was holded using a vintage ever-ready Leica leather bag designed for the Leica M4 (1968 or later) and the original leather neck strap of the bag.

After completion, the film was given to a local photo store in my neighborhood for the standard C-41 processing using a Frontier Minilab (1h processing).
Digitizing was achieved using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and a Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm at approximate reproduction ratio of 1:1. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite used with the high color temperature mode.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 15.0.1 of dec. 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
The fact that Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar still produces, 72 years after the first Leica M3 in 1954, a range of film mechanical Leica M camera’s beside of their digital camera’s, is already something surprising me. Today, the Leica catalog includes the Leica MP since 2003 (23 year ago!), the Leica M-A since 2014 and the Leica M6 was re-issued in 2022. For the MP and M-A, two finishes are available for each : the traditional silver chrome and the black versions (black chrome for the M-A and black lacquer for the MP).
Leica camera’s were quickly recognized worldwide as soon as the year 1930’s (thread-mount Leica’s at that time) and were a reference for an amazing number of manufacturers in the world, sometime manufacturing strict reproductions. In 1954, the project of the « super Leica » came to the market with the Leica M3. The M » has so many original innovations that no one could really compete with it in the domain of range-finder 35mm camera’s. The Leica M3, then the Leica M2 in 1958, were the new high-end and high-quality German reference camera’s for more than a decade for the whole photographer generation of the time.
Ernst Leitz company then known industrial difficulties in 1970, and the Leica M for a time were only produced in the Canadian branch before returning in Germany in the 80’s. During the whole wave of digital technology in photography in the 2000’s and 2010’s, the production of film Leica’s never stopped. Progressively however the film Leica’s became expensive collector objects not anymore related to the initial purpose of the Leica camera’s. Leica became also a sort of luxury brand, selling only premium-grade products.
An estimated cost of a brand-new Leica M3 or M2 kit in the 60’s with a premium lens as the Summilux 1.4/35mm (the first 1.4 35mm lens in the world in 1961) would be today around 5000 to 5500 €. The price of the 2026 Leica M-A and the re-edition of the Summilux 1.4/35m is x2 the price, boosted by the international collector avidity and the high-premium understanding of the brand worldwide. Film mechanical Leica ’s are like Rolex or Omega watches. Originally a Submariner or a Seamaster was trusted dive watches. You still dive with a brand new « Sub » or a Seamaster (I did it!) today, but I am doubtful that iit could the main motivation of the Rolex / Omega customers…
If a Rolex is today fatter and heavier than the original vintage ones, it worth to note that the film mechanical Leica-M’s today retained the exact dimensions of the original ones. My first film with my Leica M-A and the Summilux 1.4/35mm shows that this combo is likely perfectly adapted to film photography. My first negatives obtained in the daylight ir in subdued artificial light are amazingly crisp and sharp, even at wide aperture. The lens was my main question since the camera body is essentially the same as a Leica M3/M2 and at this cost, better is to be satisfied !
