Ah, but he might not have created The Prisoner had he taken up 007's Walther. Sometimes, things work out as they should. (Like Casino Royale done straight-up...finally.)telenous said:
A little Leica addendum: I remember a video clip from someplace showing Jamie Lee Curtis rapidly (and happily) clicking away with a black M6. No RF dilettante, she.

I was browsing through a set of portraiture books in a book store and one came up with celebrity photographs.
There was one of Sofia Coppola with a canonet.

There's this pretty well-known movie about a Russian submarine... Can't remember it's name. At a certain point they are at the north pole, posing on the ice for a group picture, taken with either a zorki or a fed I. Not a leica, but a leica clone at least.

Does this thread exhibit supressed voyeurism? If one cannot get a Leica, is just looking at those enjoying them pleasure of a preverted kind? Curious.

Perhaps - although there are degrees of perversion and, all in all, watching Leicas is relatively benign, one should think.
But while we are at it, isn't cinema itself a form of (legitimate) voyerism? Hitchcock was keenly aware of the quasi-voyeuristic, guilty pleasure of watching a film and exploited it to great effect. Like Gyges in Plato's Republic, the viewer is in the strange position of being invisible to the characters of the story and at the same time utterly unable to intervene.

The Day the Earth Caught Fire
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
So, here are two stills from an excellent British sci-fi movie of the fifties, "The Day the Earth Caught Fire". As much as I have tried I haven't been able to tell what make is the camera (I tend to think it's a Leica but it could be a Nikon? That would be strange for mid-fifties England).
Any clues? A jar of marmite for the one who guesses (to follow Mango's example).

I must be old fashioned. I remember Jamie Lee Curtis. Whow! Leica M6? Perhaps.

SHe gets all kinds of points. And the G2, though not a Leica, is a fine machine.

Last night I went to cinema to see The Prestige (the Christoper Nolan film based on the antagonism between two rival magicians).
Before the movie, the cinema showed a few trailers of upcoming features including Blood Diamond (Brad Pitt, Jennifer Connely). Connely is brandishing in one scene what is clearly a black Leica - from the split second that I saw it, I gather it was an M6, possibly with a Summicron 35 preasph. (it had the rectangular hood).

Perhaps one makes an exception to ladies of arresting beauty and evident (photographic) assets
I wonder if she will live to regret her choice once she examines closely the bokeh in her shots

Those of us in the FSU ghetto can take comfort in a film of epic glory actually about a Kiev!
I commend your attention to "Notes of a War Correspondent" a North Korean masterwork from 1981 staring the lovely O Mi Ran, at that time Kim Jong-Il's girlfriend and now "Most Honoured Artist of the Republic"!
Cheers Ian!

AOI Photo said:I lovec closer, but always annoy friends when I point out that she took a picture with the leica, that when printed with sloppy borders is obvoiously medium format.
Then everyone tells me to shut up
That bothered me too. No one understood why I was upset, that she got prints that big from a 35mm negative.

Does artistic impression of Leica M counts?
As seen in anime series Ghost in The Shell: 2nd Gig. Episode 16, around 19 minutes. A Japanese cyborg soldier trades his weapon for the camera and wanders off to take photos in refugee camps.
