leitz_not_leica Posted October 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) De Nero using a chrome Leica SLR which, I don't know. I'm not well versed in the R line, but it has the red spot top left. BTW, my ex's brother was in that movie, "Mad Dog and Glory". He's the scruffy one trying to sell drugs to the De Nero character. Released in 1993, with Bill Murray and Uma Thurman (yummy) as co-stars. Mad Dog and Glory (1993) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade909 Posted October 18, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2007 Blood Diamond was (I think) an M7, possibly a 6, with a small lens on it. The film is set in the 1990s, so none of the cameras would have been digital. Towards the end of the story the same character uses a very angular SLR with a telephoto - not sure what it is, but it's way smaller than the oversized 4x4 things that people use these days. I thought it was pretty cool that the researchers/props people thought about what a war reporter would have been using back then, even going so far as to black out the dot and the logo!

Overgaard Posted October 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2007 Blood Diamonds was a M6. As far as I recall the dot was colored black. But it was a M6 she used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inalux Posted October 31, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 31, 2007 Yesterday night I saw a movie called Big Fish and in this movie a woman ask her father in law if she can take a portrait of him. Then I saw a M6/M7 with big shutter wheels (or maybe a M6TTL) in her hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s.m.e.p. Posted October 31, 2007 Share #11 Posted October 31, 2007 Polly Samson, the wife of David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) is using a Leica MP Edition Hermes to take pictures of her husband. I meet them when I had the assignment to take pictures of the gold/platinum-ceremony for "On An Island", "David Gilmour In Concert" and "Pulse DVD" in Munich 29.07.2006. If she has not switched, the most of the pictures on http://davidgilmour.musicblog.co.uk/ and http://www.davidgilmour.com/ are taken with a classical Leica and Film!

j. white Posted November 1, 2007 Share #12 Posted November 1, 2007 Ally Sheedy uses a Leica as part of her portrayal of a fine art photographer/junkie in the Lisa Cholodenko film, High Art. I have no recollection which model or lens was used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami91 Posted November 1, 2007 Share #13 Posted November 1, 2007 Last night watched the recent remake of Omen --- seemed an appropriate choice for Halloween. Anyway, the photog in it (whose images show the spear of light predicting doom for the subject) carried an M around his neck in addition to Nikon SLR gear. Can't recall seeing him put the M to his eye during the film, but it was easily recognizable by the shape and red dot. The movie itself doesn't compare too well to the original. They found an equally creepy child to play Damien (a necessity, of course), but Liev Schrieber is no Gregory Peck. Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted April 8, 2008 Share #20 Posted April 8, 2008 I was watching the news last night and there was a piece from the anti Chinese demonstrations in Paris as the olympic torch was being paraded around. There was one shot of the chaos and there was a shot from behind of a photographer with an M8 directly in front of the news camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
