I really like this shot of the Leica

Play the video until the end when they flash the actors' names.. oooh does that M6 looks good on screen...

 

[Rich Silfver]

Yeah...looks good.

 

[Trius]

What M6? 😉

 

[amateriat]

Oh, yes...but, Jamie Lee Curtis...there's a gal who knows how to handle a Leica...(and not just on-screen).

Yeah...looks good.

The "cameras" in the movie is hilarious. Roberts handles a non motorized Leica, but the sound effect was clearly from a motorized SLR with the zzzzz motor advance. And later in the film, the shots Robert took for Portman turned out to be 6X6 Hassy style. There was even the black thin frames around the pic.

Didn't see the movie (though I might rent it), but the M6 she's seen wielding in the trailer clearly has a winder/motor attached.

the camera looks MUCH better than Roberts does

I saw a hilarious interview with Julia somewhere -- maybe a camera mag, or Vanity Fair -- in which the writer desperately tried to make her say that she actually knew something about cameras or photography, and in which she resolutely stuck to what must have been the truth, that she knew nothing about either and really wasn't much interested in learning anything.

I looked at the picture above of Julia Roberts wielding the M6 and the first thing that went through my mind was what lens was she shooting with? Sad, I know.

but... That's a 35 Summicron she was shooting that portrait with...whatever!

In 50 years that M6 will likely still be working perfectly. How will Julia be then? 🙁

Not a studio portrait camera

Not a studio portrait camera

I saw this film and immediatly thought it was odd that she was using a rangefinder in a studio portrait session with lights and all. Am I just naive or did anyone else have that thought.

Seems filmmakers don't always do their homework, but I guess it doesn't matter to the majority of viewers.

No kidding. I'd take the M6 over Roberts any day. The M6 has to be lower maintenance and a much longer lasting relationship.

BTW I've used M's in the studio with srobes for thirty plus years.

Actually if I remember right, she was shooting the portrait of the guy with a Hassy, then shot the girl for her "personal work" by the window with the Leica.. I could be wrong, it was a while ago.

Oh BTW since I got my Bessa, I shoot almost all my 35mm stuff, even studio portraits, with a rangefinder.. 😎 Check out my other post about my "new" Elmar 90/4 😀

There was definitely a motor on the M6, it was the first time I had ever seen one and made me want an M6 even more :angel:

All of that's the way I remember it. I quite enjoyed that film.
