A movie starring the M8!

Oh, and some actors and other stuff.

Can anyone figure out what the really long lens is? It's not the 135/2.8, it's way too small for that. One of the old visoflex-specific long lenses, sans visoflex?

What's wrong with these morons who research the factual data for these flicks?

The guy's using an M8 and we're hearing a DSLR ... why not just use a DSLR as the camera prop and stop trying to be clever by choosing a non main stream camera.

That said the M8 does look good and is the star of the movie for me because rest looks pretty ordinary. 😀

Great !!! This will REALLY help towards assuring people that street photographers are not perverts. :bang:

Mismatched sound effects are a constant problem with motorbikes in films as well. Watch Black Rain with Michael Douglas. Gangsters riding 2-stroke dirtbikes in Chinatown that sound like 4-stroke sportsbikes. 😕

I love how the m8 gets about 6-7 fps.

I just might check this movie out now.

SLRs for the win.

I think I could see a vertical line in his frames. Those night shots must have to had tons of noise reduction on them. That would be great if the movie had a subplot of him trying to stay with his Leica M8 when the other woman tries to get him to use a nikon D3x....
Looks like an interesting movie actually.

Doesn't sound at all like any of my Nikon DSLR's...more like the film SLR's!😛 But I notice this all the time in movies!😡 Guess it wouldnk't be the same with a cellphone camera or maybe it would be most interesting...

"To be honest, it would not have been our choice. Maybe we were having clearance issues with Canon or something. Honestly, a guy who does this sort of photography wouldn’t just have a small camera with a tiny lens. He would have an array of lens and stuff. But Leicas are cool-looking cameras, and they have a history and all that. There’s definitely something sexy about the Leica versus your typical camera."
