It's actually Adox HR50 with a hiked up price because it says Leica on it. Meh!

It's the type of film that I'd buy a single box just for the nice container.
(I have a 120 roll of the historic Ilford FP4 on my desk right now)

I do like Adox HR-50, but not enough to pay extra just because it says Leica on the box.  I have a bulk roll that I've been going through for a while now.  It develops really well in beer.

I'm just glad they haven't decided to get in the potato chip business...

Or the mac & cheese business.
