Leica Sightings...

[retrocam]

Just some trivial info for the cult...😛

1) The October 2006 issue of InStyle Magazine features Zach Braff in the Man of Style article. His list of "right stuff" includes a Leica M6TTL. I couldn't find his homepage though...like Brendan Fraser has that features photos taken with his Leica.
2) The November 2006 issue of Seventeen magazine features Teddy Geiger on the cover page holding a Leica screwmount.

Are these product placements???? I dunno...But I hope those features help increase film and rangefinders sales in this digital age. 😉

Now back to regular programming....😀

Brendan Fraser and Seal, among other celeb photographers, have bought Leica stuff here:

Bob Rock shoots Voigtlander lenses purchased there too.

Character in the Movie Stealth used a Leica M

I was surprised to see a Leica M being used by one of the main characters in the movie Stealth. ( I know, the movie sucked!) Anyway he was using it while on R&R taking pictures of Jusica Beal's character in a bikini at an exotic waterfall. Jesica Beal in the bikini was the highlight of the movie😉

Unfortunately some producer decided to include the all-too-common 35mm SLR mirror slap and motor drive. The same thing happened to some poor CL that Nicholas Cage was using in Lord of War.

sad.

Erik,

You know I did not catch that. Too busy looking at Jesica Beal in a Bikini I guess.

Did you happen to see which M was being used?

Erik, I checked your profile. I have a Son named Erik who will be 18 March 11th. Anyway it is neat to see a young person into photography especially leica "M's". Heck ,I am waiting on my first M I just won on ebay. Well, happy shooting.

No clue. That bikini was just tooo enticing.
Sounds are easier for me to pickup and remember, especially something as outlandish (but unfortunately common) as that.
