Audrey Tautou doesn't annoy me.

Can you imagine the video being made, instead, with her using a D700 with a 24 - 120 mm zoom?

Well she annoys me . . . never returns my phone calls.

I thought the most alluring thing in thast video was Billy Holiday's voice.

IMO Seal has taken some great pictures....

I wonder what Ginsberg was taking pictures of?

"Out of the blue of the Western sky comes...Sky King!" (cue theme music)

RFF got a shout-out! Nice 🙂

We need to bring more celebrities into the fold, especially if they shoot film. Keep it alive and in the public eye! Who knows, for all we know Brad Pitt, Elijah Wood, Seal, John Mayer, Brendan Fraser, etc etc already post here anonymously...

good grief, I haven't seen that since the '50's and I think I remember his daughters name was Penny ?

Sky King rocked!

Penny was quite the radioi operator as well!

I think rangefinderforum just hit the big time. It was like we were Wired magazine. Don't be so sure Audrey isn't already here. BTW, Audrey, I'd be happy to lend you one of my 25s if you like.

Mr. Mayer’s post inspired a spirited dialogue about Leica chic among celebrities on rangefinderforum.com, an enthusiast’s site. “If Paris Hilton is packing a DLux does that mean I’ll have to dump my trusty carry-everywhere lest I be labeled a fashionista?” wrote one commenter, in reference to another Leica model.

So, confess, who said this? 😛😛

The best part of the article is that the forum got a mention.

Bonus points for naming their Jeep.

Beautiful add with a elegant lady, the digital M doesn`t feel right. An M3 or an M2 would suit the look of the commercial much better. Orient Express, a beautiful Babe, a classic perfume and a classic camera.

My mistake...I was thinking of NellyBell, the Jeep in the Roy Rogers series (same era).

They referenced my thread! 🙂

But seriously, that last line in the article says it all...

 

[EdwardKaraa]

Never mind the first actress pictured is shooting an X100...

Nope, it's a M.

I think the most interesting piece to discuss is this:

Do you believe Leica makes you a better driver? 😉

By all means, no.

But this will encourage the Leica haters, and those of us who do use Leicas as they're supposed to will now be tagged as snobs, celeb wannabees, and bling collectors--all over again. I hate these kind of articles....
