The new Chanel N.5

[FS Vontz]

I've seen that. The camera kinda ruined it for me. Bit of a sell out, though being an advertisement it's one anyway.

Emm...the markings were RFF'ed (meaning, taped over). Hardly a sell-out. 🙄

I thought it was interesting that they went for an old-school feel in this spot, while the M8 deftly brought it into the 21st century, while also being a nice plot device (chimping and all). Camouflaged or not, I'm certain the gang in Solms approved.

And, yeah, she (of course I'm talking about Ms. Tatou) is a sight for sore eyes, yes?

No. 5 doesn't always transport me, either...but that sometimes depends on the woman wearing it.

I saw this ad just last night, and it definitely caught my attention, first by Ms. Tatou, then i spotted the Leica and I had to mention to my wife (about the Leica) 🙂. At which point, my wife rolled her eyes, and thought "typical camera geek".

I should have guessed that RFF would be abuzz today with talk about the ad 😀.

Does that mean they "sold out"?

I saw it too

I saw it too

and had to let everyone to know when 1:42 was coming up ...

When I first saw the online video clip, I thought you could press display then arrow buttons to zoom like it looked like what she was doing, but no, you have to rotate the round dial still.

I liked Amelie, and the French Engagement movie as well as the Da Vinci code. It's too bad she wasn't in the Angels and Demons movie.

The message was what:

• Excitement on the Orient Express?...Jame Bond the 1st rode it "From Russia with Love" going the other way you know. 😉
• Chanel No:5?...of course, should have used an M5 then. 😛
• Leica and chimping caught a close-up head shot of the dream guy between passing ferries at speed and still sharp, while the sun is setting at the Golden Horn...unlikely, not even with a Leica and whatever telephoto lens of whatever maximum aperture. If she had intended to capture a scenic shot but got cut off by the passing boat, then the M8/9 has a serious problem in lag time. 😀

How about Brad Pitt using a real Leica in Spy Games. At least his running across a war zone looks real enough...but why did he also carry a Nikon, Leica's are not good enough?
