I can guess at Ringo's camera model but what about the lens ?

looks like a 50 w/ hood

but i was too busy looking at the blonde with the rolleiflex

Could be a Canon 50/1.5.

The camera looks to be an L2 or VL2 RF Canon but the lens looks more of a Contax/ Nikon mount via an adapter (Cooke Perkins?) but that lens looks larger than a typical f 1.5 Sonnar or Nikkor 5cm f1.4.. maybe a Zunow f1.1?

The blonde is hot French singer Sylvie Vartan ( and not her double or replacement), a supposed paramour of the original Paul McCartney back in January 1964 when the Beatles played the Olympia theatre n Paris France.

there we go... the problem is you're paying more attention to the camera than the blonde

To be honest, I liked both 🙂

Funny...she would have been 20 or so in the photo. Now she is 72. Shame we all get old.

Contax Zunow.

Sylvie is actually Bulgarian, she and her family left postwar Bulgaria for Paris in the early 1950's.

Cameraquest shows an LTM Zunow 1.1, which would be more likely mounted on a Canon.

Interesting, I'd thought Ringo was a Pentaxian 😉

Not sure about his photography assets but he was a great drummer in his prime. 🙂

In "A Hard Day's Night," Ringo goes off on his own after being picked on by bandmates & Paul's malicious 'grandad.' Watch the clip for his bit of street shooting with an SLR. Shortly after he sets it on a rock on the banks of a river for a Napoleanic selfie with a long cable release, and...

What is it with vintage cameras and lovely women?...and why did I not know about it when I was young and single? :bang:

He's still pretty good now.

They all went Nikon F by their 1st trip to India in 1966.

Here's one of Sir Paul, a selfie with a rangefinder. Contax maybe? I'm not sure...any guesses?

 

[Mackinaw]

Looks like a Nikon M or S.

Yeah , most likely. Viewfinder window is too small for a Contax.

Is this the same "bird" as in the OP's pic?

From "Hard Days Night".
