gteague Posted June 26, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 'love and gelato' on netflix. stupid but cute and i really liked it because i spent a year in italy and i could try to follow along with the italian dialogue. i'm not a collector or a historian, but i'm guessing something around an m4 era and a 50/2 lens. could be an m3 but somehow it looks more modern. /guy Edited June 26, 2022 by gteague Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mute-on Posted June 26, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2022 M3 with what looked like 50 DR Summicron. Just finished watching it this morning. If nothing else, the scenery is (predictably) spectacular. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

105012 Posted June 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2022 It’s the most beautiful of all the M Leica’s, the one that started it all, the best of them all, the M3. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroplait Posted June 26, 2022 Share #7 Posted June 26, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Did they get the sound right? Always hate it when a Leica M sounds like a Nikon F and vice versa. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah; but I don't blame her for the failure of the Props Dept, Peter! I did wonder why they used a modern case when M3 cases are so plentiful. Perhaps the older cases were not deemed to be Sexy enough? The one selected is such an obviously poor choice in many regards... Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gteague Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) i have too many fans blowing (over 100º for over 21 days now) to get subtle sounds, but i didn't hear a shutter sound which might be the most authentic of all as most of the time the shots were taken on a busy italian street. but the show had a photographic theme of a sort. her mother lived in italy about 30 years ago and 'hung out' with a professional photographer there who gave her the leica. when the daughter goes to italy at her dying mother's request, her mother's friends give her this camera and by the end of the show she is out on the streets with 3 cameras slung around her neck. so i'm sure that showing familiarity with cameras was part of the learning process to do the acting. sorry for the (quite mild) spoilers, but the show is worth watching if you like romances or romcoms or italian ambiance.

Philip. Or some Bright Young Creative who divides cameras into (a) the iPhone and (b) everything before that. The other cameras are decades adrift too, cheap and cheerful consumer models that are nothing like those press photographers would use in any year. http://www.artdecocameras.com/cameras/standard/conway-super-flash/ https://www.browniecam.com/portfolio-items/303-brownie-twin-20/ Maybe they just went to Oxfam and bought a job lot... The exhibition they were promoting was excellent, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gteague Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted June 26, 2022 the only time i saw the slr was when she had an upper strap (leica), lower strap (some sorta-polaroid looking ?folding? camera and a strap around the back with an slr and i only got a glimpse of it when she fell over backwards. if i had loaned that leica to the production i would have insisted a stunt plastic one for that! /guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfaspen Posted June 30, 2022 Share #16 Posted June 30, 2022 If I watch a movie and the actor doesn't hold/use a camera correctly or even close to correctly, I stop the movie. When it's in a cinema house, I still stop watching and read Leica Forum or something like that. Ask my wife, this is a true thing. I'm even less forgiving when the camera is a Leica. Seems movies with Jason Momoa in them always have a Leica being used properly.....he even tried to use it during game of the thrones. Hmmm, like Yule Brenner? That's a nice connection if it exists... BTW,. Momoa is a verified Leica Nut. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogallol Posted June 30, 2022 Share #17 Posted June 30, 2022 I must say that in the old Dad’s Army episode where Mr Blewitt used a plate camera to take a picture of Corporal Jones he operated it correctly, focussing, folding up the focussing screen, putting in the dark slide, drawing out the sheath etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW,. Momoa is a verified Leica Nut. 🙂 I met Jason at the recent Leitz auction and I can confirm that. I have to admit I had never heard of him before. We were introduced to each other as being both interested in 19th Century brass lenses. He was impressed with the pictures I showed him of my collection of Irish made brass lenses. He told me that he was interested in using British made Ross and Dallmeyer lenses on his Leicas, although he missed the Leica with a Ross lens which I picked up at the auction. He bought a lot of other stuff, though. William 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
