Advertisement Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Hi andybarton, Take a look here Leica Spotting. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted November 21, 2009 Share #62 Posted November 21, 2009 The camera in the advert is definitely an M8, as it has the frame counter on the top plate. Welcome, dear visitor!

andybarton Posted November 21, 2009 Share #63 Posted November 21, 2009 Sadly, my actress spotting skills fall short of those for the Leica , but I can now confirm that the woman is definitely played by Audrey Tautou. Well done to Andy for the identification. Regards Mike Apologies for spelling her name incorrectly - I was in front of the TV using the iPhone as a reference... Anyway, I bet that Audrey smells lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeingeye Posted November 21, 2009 Share #64 Posted November 21, 2009 The camera in the advert is definitely an M8, as it has the frame counter on the top plate. [ATTACH]174635[/ATTACH] We are agreed, but at least I got there first this time! Given the red dot, it must mean that it is the M8, rather than the M8.2.

Seeingeye Posted November 22, 2009 Share #65 Posted November 22, 2009 There are yet more important questions that have to be answered about the ad. Has the M8 had any factory upgrades fitted, or is it in the original Classic form? Clearly, it is impossible to tell whether it has the 2 metre framelines, but how about shutter, sapphire glass and vulcanite? To me, it looks like the standard M8 shutter dial, which probably means that the rest of the camera is unmodified. How did Audrey Tautou mange to get such a good close-up without using a much longer lens? She replays three images of the young man, numbered 30 through to 32. 30 and 31 appear to be the same, but 31 appears in two guises, the second guise being a tighter close up that is identical to 32. It is as if she had zoomed in to enlarge image 31, but there is no rectangle in the bottom right hand corner to show the degree of enlargement. Clearly, these are vital questions to which the perfume buying public deserves to know the answer. Regards Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho_co Posted November 26, 2009 Share #72 Posted November 26, 2009 Great spot, fascinating 'behind the scenes' look. Say, you are aware that Andrew Nemeth has a Leica at the Movies page, right? Leica FAQ - Leica Spotting & at the Movies For the theatrical releases, you might want to check to be sure he's got them in his database. If not, he's glad to get updates.

ho_co Posted November 26, 2009 Share #73 Posted November 26, 2009 Mike-- It's interesting that she's shot 40 pictures, and is back-checking earlier ones. There's a back-story here, isn't there, that we mere viewers are unaware of? I had the feeling from the commercial that she was chimping the shot she had just made, but no, she's reminiscing over some earlier pictures. Curiouser and curiouser. I mean, we know the camera doesn't lie, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Poole Posted October 28, 2016 Share #77 Posted October 28, 2016 I teach a unit of work to secondary school pupils (year 9 14/15 year Olds) about ethical choices including the purchasing of blood diamonds. As part of it we watch Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio. As someone mentioned the female lead uses a Leica in it. Every time I watch out I get GAS and also annoyed as she clearly didn't get told how Rangefinder works before being given one. www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
