Honour the Roots of Analogue Photography
To celebrate a century since the Leica I revolutionised photography, Leica proudly presents MONOPAN 50, its first-ever branded 35 mm black-and-white film. This film evokes the original Leica’s spirit—small negative, big picture—with contemporary precision and character.
Unmatched Sharpness & Tonal Depth
Ultra-fine grain and super-panchromatic sensitivity deliver astonishing detail and tonal richness. The MONOPAN 50 produces results worthy of large-scale prints or high-resolution scans.
Designed for Leica Lenses & the Analogue Vision
With an ISO 50/18° rating, MONOPAN 50 invites creative shooting with fast M-Lenses—even in bright scenes—preserving that iconic Leica bokeh. Combine it with colour filters—or venture into infrared photography—to explore new expressive depths. It’s compatible with all B&W developers and perfectly complements Leica’s optical legacy.
Crafted in Germany, Packaged in History
Made in Germany and packaged in vintage-inspired collector boxes, MONOPAN 50 embodies Leica's heritage in every roll. Ideal for landscape, architecture, cityscape, and travel photography, it's a tangible nod to the timeless craft of analogue imaging.
