I saw a show on Annie Leibovitz the other day. She was using an M6 with motor. I guess that was Leica product placement too.😉

a few times while we were watching !
I know the Summicron was a v4. Not sure what camera it was though, M6 or M7.

I think it's one thing to have a product featured in movie where the logo isn't readable, it's another thing to have a can of pepsi and having the can rotated between shots so the logo is visible to the camera in every single shot, even to be point of discounting continuity errors.

In a similar thread a long while ago, someone suggested that the props buyer/supervisor chose a Leica (in another movie) so he/she could keep it in the end.

I didn't realise a cinema would have shown Pecker on a movie screen. It was a little tacky. I was quite impressed at the miraculous nature of the cameras 😀

Well same here, only my wife did not get my reference 😱
The action was supposed to be taken place in 1999/2000, so it should have been a M6 thoughit looked like a M7.....

Yep. Maybe she did a mirror self portrait / lens test 😀

Let's not forget that all-time classic, EuroTrip, where the male young owner of a new M7 impressed a female photo lab clerk so much with the camera, she "rewarded" him in the back alley.

It was an M6. In a previous thread someone cropped a still from the movie and the red dot in the middle of the lens release could be seen.

I thought that I remembered that in reference to the LTM Leica that was put on the cover of Seventeen (or another girlteen magazine) a number of months back. Great idea on part of the props manager.

I seem to remember that in "Closer" Julia Roberts used a Leica rangefinder (and a Hasselblad) to shot her pictures.

Under the Tuscan Sun - 2003. The Polish workers use a Kiev 4 I think.

Last night I saw one of the early 2005 Mystery Woman TV movies again, and it sure looks like it is a IIIF or G, but she never focuses or uses a flash regardless how dim the light. Maybe she zone focuses and uses 3200.

I recently saw Blood Diamond and the beautiful Jennifer Connelly was sporting a Leica as a reporter.

Frequency (a much underated film) features what looks like a Canonet towards the start. Certainly something compact with a pancake lens anyway.
