Cameras. I has it.
Was watching the Netflix show Highseas the other day and noticed this ultra rare Hasselblad TLR !
...
Why does the prop department engage in such nonsense?
I am relieved to see that his Nikon F is not as crumpled as he famously was.
And I am surprised to see that there was such as thing as an autofocus Nikon F. He clearly had no need to focus this one manually.
Lt. Columbo was a photographer before joining the police department, thus he learned to prefocus the lens.
It's a Kilfitt 400/5.6 lens. Kilfitt lenses are outstanding. Cameraquest has articles on them:

I have a 40mm Makro-Kilar D - it has astonishing resolution and wonderfully smooth bokeh.

'Palermo Shooting' from Wim Wenders features a Plaubel Makina used by the main character, a couple of Leicas (M3 and M6?) and a digital Hasselblad.
The movie itself has lovely light and photography and a superb eccletic soundtrack.

I just watched Motherless Brooklyn (2019) and was suprised that props are period accurate. Cameras, cars (present in big numbers in the movie), clothing.
So it is possible. I said it multiple times, getting the props right is cheap (compared to the cost of film making). It is a question of not being ignorant.

Riverboom (a documentary from 2023 about a road trip in Afghanistan in 2003) was an enjoyable watch. Funny, informative and features the Olympus Mju, Hasselblad 500 and Rolleiflex.
