Leica M8 in Chanel No. 5 video

[KenD]

Looks like Chanel has decided Leica is still the class act. Check out the new Chanel No. 5 video on the MSN homepage.

Very classy.

Story of my life, except omit the final scene in the station.

Not bad at all. My favourite French Actress, Audrey Tautou, is also the main character ;-)

 

[P. Lynn Miller]

Did not last long... went to MSN homepage today to show it to someone and it has been taken down already.

Obviously an M8... and ideas on the lens?

 

[StanSmith]

and ideas on the lens?

With that boat maybe 30 meters away and she could get a full body shot I would say a 560 Telyt

 

[Benjamin]

Yes, I saw it on the 'tele' last night. I had to laugh knowing that there would be a thread here today.

All the best, Benjamin

Miley Cyrus, Penelope Cruz, Scarlet Johansson, Audrey Tautou - so the M8's a girl's camera?

Commerical's hit YouTube:

What's the lens? is it one of those WATE lenses?

"Miley Cyrus, Penelope Cruz, Scarlet Johansson, Audrey Tautou - so the M8's a girl's camera?"

Nah - but it is another object of desire and fantasy ;o)

Actually the lens looked like a 75 Summilux or maybe 90 Summicron: the whole body shot was after zooming in on the wider image. (I know you're not serious about the 560.) Look up Chanel No 5 on YouTube if you want to see the movie.

That lady must be TINY she makes the m8 look closer to the size of a kiev-60!

i suppose i should actually say 'petite'

 

[blazejs]

I had the same feeling about size of camera compared to her ;-)

It's not product placement - Ms Tautou is a Leicaphile. She is known for taking photos of her interviewers with hers:

Thanks for the link. It's cool to know that She's also a Leicaphile ;-)
