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

[LeicaTom]

Geeze Folks it`s a Leica IIIC or a IIIF with a Nippon Kogaku 35mm...........what`s the big deal? LOL!!!!!!!

...........should have been a Stepper IIIC with a Xenon, but then who would look at the model?????

And typical she doesn`t know how to hold a camera, hate to stereotype, but I work with models all the time and you think after seeing cameras being pointed at them for years and years and years they`d know how to hold one.........Not!
*I have to put my PinUps though a crash course on , "how to hold a vintage camera" *

These new Tiffany ads are all over Hong Kong, some blown up very large at bus and tram stops. The lens is certainly a Kogaku, so wouldn't it make sense that the body is a Nicca 3A or F or similar model? Why mount a Kogaku on a Leica? That would be a cross-cultural affair!

i think the reason why she's holding the III so awkwardly is to show off the other bling... personally i think they should have used an M3 with a collapsible summicron for the ad. sorry ltm'ers

I was a model for a shoot a long time ago for a professional rag and the photographer had a closet full of props and he just handed me one. No hidden agenda, no conspiracy, no big deal.

 

[mervynyan]

i don't think the shoot itself was taken with films. too sad.

I'd say it's a IIIf, as I believe I can see the flash synch dial under the shutter speed dial.

I'm pretty sure the model is Gemma Ward, an Aussie. She's been described as having 'alien beauty'.

I spotted this too a few weeks back and posted this on the Leica Forum

Camera should have a 35mm viewfinder fitted to add abit of credibility

Cheers

The model is russian, and named Sasha Pivovarova.

Here's a shot of the poster taken with my cell phone. So is there a definitive answer as to what the camera is?

 

[caperunner]

Camera may be a Leotax, Nicca, or early Canon too.

Look carefully at the ring under the shutterspeed knob, its a IIIf, others than Leica do not have that ' black' or 'red' dial for flashlight.

 

[spiderfrank]

that's a digital camera: she is looking the display on the back!! :-D
