Movie Question

[leica M2 fan]

In the movie, " Enemy at the Gates " with Jude Law and Joseph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz there's a scene where Jude Law's character is being presented to Nikita Kruschev and a young woman takes Law's picture with what I think is a FED NKVD, anyone have more info or input?

Haven't seen that one, but there are a few shots of a guy using an early Fed 1 in K9 the Widow Maker, when they are on the ice after test firing the missile!
Sad I know but I stop framed and zoomed in to check!!!

I did the same thing, stopped and then went frame by frame. Didn't think to zoom in ! Will try that.

I dont know about FED's, but in the movie Eurotrip, a guy got a blowjob for owning a Leica m7

Got a DVD of "Enemy at the Gates" and its really hard to tell if its a FED or a Leica. Freezing the frame doesn't help much. The lady photocorrespondents fingers are covering the camera so it's hard to see the details.

In "K-19 the Widow Maker", it's also hard to say if the camera shown (as a crewman takes a photo of the other crewmembers playing on ice) is a FED-1 or Zorki-1. Both look the same.

In a certain Leica site which has a page about Leica sightings in movies, its stated that the camera seen in "K19..." is a Leica. Emailed them and so far no effort has been made to rectify this
