Not Just Retro. Relevant. Yesterday, Leica announced MONOPAN 50, a brand-new black-and-white 35mm film. That’s right — a new film stock in 2025. At a time when AI-generated imagery, mirrorless specs, and megapixel arms races dominate the headlines, Leica has chosen to quietly release something that feels more like an ode than a product.

The home of enthusiastic supporters of Fine Art Photography. We respect its history, admire its present form, and look forward to its future. Follow publicationWhy better gear is making us worst photographers. There’s a paradox in modern photography I can’t ignore.
