OT: Cameras in movies

yes the famous Photog in Pecker uses a Contax G (I think it's Greg Gorman, there's also Cindy Sherman in a cameo).

What kind of Exakta is James Stewart using in Hitchcocks "Rear Window"?

I Milius' "Farewell to the King" The Japanese commanding officer is using an Exakta with a waist levelfinder possible if it's a Kine Exakta.

Yes and In K 19 they actually use a Zorki!

Graphics in the movie!

Graphics in the movie!

See Eastwood's "Flag of Our Fathers". Lots of Graphics in that one.
 
Not a Movie but saw a Doco called "Hillary and Everest" which showed him using a Leica on the 1953 expidition. Later he is shown with a Canon around his neck in it's leather case, looks like a 7 from the case.

And what about "Rear Window"?
 
Just saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind. When the aliens come to the science base there is a row of photo equipment, some 35mm, some 6x6. Then some woman snaps off about a whole roll of photos from really far away with her fixed lens rf. It was frustrating watching her click frame after identical frame...
 
I don't recall the name of the movie, but there was a scene that took place during World War II with two British agents sitting in a car photographing another person some distance away with a Zorki (4?) equipped with a turret finder.
 
I just watched a German documentary about the annexion of Austria in 1938. There they showed a team of "racical documentary scientists". They used a Contax camera to take pictures of the examined people.:eek:


My 2 Euro cents.
 
"Iris", the Dame Judi Dench biopic about Dame Iris Murdoch features a scene in which a friend snaps pictures on the beach with an older Leica. As a sound designer and Leica shooter, I was perturbed by the sound editors choice of a non-Leica shutter sound for the scene.

What's a girl to do?
