Cameras in movies...

On the Prime network: Murder rooms, Mysteries of the Real Sherlock Holmes season 1: "The Photographer's Chair"
Not so much a particular camera, but a view camera used to take portraits, the subject matter of early photography is especially good, and relevant to the plot.

High Society (1956) - Nikon S2

I believe that an Argus C3 was used in the original movie, "The Philadelphia Story".

In "The Schindler's List", when Oskar Schindler is introduced, in the restaurant, there's an Ihagee Exakta with flash.

In the show "The Wire", the detectives are always using a Nikon F2S during the first two seasons. Later seasons it looks like they switched to a digital.
Don't forget the 1950s show "Man With a Camera", starring Charles Bronson.

In the Irishman (2019), apart from the usual Speed Graphics from the press in every movie that happens in the 50's and 60's, there's a family scene with a Contaflex and then, latter in the 70's, a Nikon F1.

The Big Picture 2012 by Lartigau, Photog uses a Leica M5. Not a bad flick.

Ringo with Pentax in A Hard Day’s Night. This is far and away the best shot of the camera in the film, and I still can’t make out the model.
The film was apparently put together very quickly and cheaply, to get it into the cinemas before the entire Beatlemania phenomenon collapsed and the Fab Four disappeared back into Liverpudlian obscurity. The final scenes, in a concert, are brilliant. The Beatles stopped touring because they couldn’t hear themselves play above the sound of the screaming girls. I’m showing my age here, but I can vouch from personal experience that you couldn’t hear a note above the noise from the audience.

Tim Page, the poster child of the war in Vietnam had a British/Australian TV series done... Lots of cameras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzm3KocDjko&t=264s ''we got a great story here''. War as entertainment.

Greta Gerwig's character shoots a Nikon F2 and a.... Yashica Mat? throughout 20th Century Women

 

[Erik van Straten]

It must be a Rolleiflex f/2.8.

OK, here's one to stump you guys.
Movie: K-19 The Widowmaker
Scene: On the frozen ocean after they just shot off the test missle. Group shot was taken of the crew.
What Zorki was used? (I'm assuming it was a Zorki since they were Russians)

It's a Zorki-1, or maybe a FED-1, almost identical from the front. I presume is a correct camera for the period and place.

I can't recall them all, but there are several large format wood & brass plate cameras in J'acusse (2019), the Roman Polansky movie about the affaire Dreyfus.

There was this movie a year or so ago called Fujicolor where Julie Harris used a Zorki 4.

Here's a screen grab

Wasn't that one called K0dachrome? 🙂

The TV series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". Season 1, episode 7 "Turn Back the Clock", Yvonne Craig uses a Leica iii or something similar to photograph an expedition to tropical Antarctica. (!)

Echoing Larry above, in another episode of Babylon Berlin, that I think is supposed to take place in 1929, a police or newspaper photographer is shown using a camera that is clearly one of those post-war Zeiss Ikontas or Nettars with a stepped top plate. Another anachronism, I guess. The props department could have used an RFF consultant.

It is a 2017 Netflix movie called "Kodachrome" staring Ed Harris who uses a Leica M4-P 35mm rangefinder.
