[Leica] Old film question

[Don Dory]

A modification of the advice you have been given.  Take the film and shoot
it side by side with whatever other camera you choose.  I would take
something that you can leverage with the Leica on loan program to try some
of the new lenses.  It is a bit of a hassle to shoot with two bodies but my
experience with some 15 year old Reala was if frozen the film only has
very, very minor color shift.  But, I would check on film processing in
Dublin and see if you can get negatives there.
