Leica LTM Incredibly beautiful (and the girl's not so bad)

[vdonovan]

Tiffany & Co Jewelers have a new ad campaign called "Some Style Is Legendary". Check it out and if you can take your eyes off the model, name that camera and lens:

Note, the Tiffany ad uses Flash and they have several photos, only one of which has a camera in it. You might have to reload a few times to see the image I'm talking about.

I don't know my screw mount bodies very well but that looks to be a 35/3.5 Summaron.

 

[foggie]

It's a nikon lens but I don't know about the body

but I don't know about the body

I love the body but the face is not bad either

Cheers!

IIIc or IIIf
maybe a summaron? or a nikon ?

It looks like a post 1946 "flat top" Leica IIIC and a Nikkor f3.5/35mm

I think that Tom E. nailed it. The lens certainly looks like Nikkor on my small lap-top screen.

Looks like they've changed the ad image already! Too many RFF perverts were flooding their server, I guess.

Hit refresh and the image changes.

... if you can take your eyes off the model...

Now I know why they use the term "model" -- they look like plastic mannequins thanks to the heavy handed Photoshopery.

 

[vdonovan]

Thankfully they didn't Photoshop the IIIc into an M8!

True. They creep me out. Maybe that's the intent?

 

[LeicaTom]

ohh ohh after a second look that shutter speed dial looks a little wide...........hahahahha it might be a IIIF? LOL!!!!!!

Ohh and everyone please don`t misunderstand, I`m not hijacking this thread.....



.....But, I just think MORE photographer`s should use gals and Camera`s together in projects - this was a session I shot for a Lingerie company using a Leica as a accessory -

Florida model Candice Marie and Leo B`s beautiful and all original 1945 US Army issued Leica IIIC K - back last year when I still owned it using it as a prop - nice props huh? *She`s admiring the Patina*

Has anyone ever noticed that whenever an advertiser wanst to show a real camera they use and old film rangefinder in their pictures? As for the model - don't know the rangefinder and the other model isn't my type either.

Tom's model is HOT! Tiffanys?....NOT!...but I'll take the camera.

Absolutely right. Perhaps they are trying to attract the same crowd that buys latex blow up women....The camera looks more lifelike than the woman.

I've seen the large print ad in September British Vogue. The lens definitely says "Nippon Kogaku" but I couldn't tell what body it was.

 

[kermaier]

I saw a life-size poster of the ad in San Francisco today. The lens is indeed labeled Nippon Kogaku 3.5cm f=1:3.5. No visible insignia on the body, sorry.

And I would have bet it was a IIIg Leica...

The lens is definitely NOT Leica. Glad to see my instincts confirmed here.

The model is pretty, but I doubt she can smile. Her skin looks too tight!

Never saw such a IIIG, but must admit I had problems reloading the site, therefore here is the pic so one can study better
