Advertisement Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Berthold Franke, Take a look here Brad Pitt with his M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Overgaard Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share #42 Posted May 14, 2008 Oh, I should have known better when I posted that photo. I think the simplicity of it is that it's a great photo and a great camera in it. Here's a link to the interview for those of you who are interested (as well as more photos): http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/02/17/brad-pitt-interview-magazine/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_livsey Posted May 15, 2008 Share #44 Posted May 15, 2008 Enough about the camera, I wonder what kind of watch he is wearing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably Tag Huer I have seen him in advertising shots so he is/was under contract. At least camera manufaturers have not gone to those lengths- yet.

ChadHahn Posted May 16, 2008 Share #45 Posted May 16, 2008 The watch is a Breitling Emergency, the bottom knob unscrews and an antenna comes out sending out a distress beacon. It was originally only available to pilots. Not only is he a TAG spokesman, but in Japan he does (or did) ads for a jewelry store that sold used Rolexes. I don't see why an actor wouldn't be a photographer. They have lots of down time and they are often in exotic locations and why not spend you time taking photos. People call Leicas a doctors camera so why shouldn't millionaire actors use Leicas as well? Chad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Add to that you have directors, photographers, set designers, art directors, light people and all available for technical questions and tricks. I got into Leica when I met an instructor who always carried a Minilux in his belt. There's not long from being a film geek to being a Leica geek.

wstotler Posted May 19, 2008 Share #47 Posted May 19, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) The watch is a Breitling Emergency, the bottom knob unscrews and an antenna comes out sending out a distress beacon. It was originally only available to pilots. I thought you were pulling a fast one on us. Then I Googled and was immediately terrified: Breitling : Emergency Then, the obvious question. . . . Why doesn't my M8 have an emergency transmitter? Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will If you use it "in anger", they give you a new one (it's worth it to them for the publicity). If you use it accidentally, you face a bill for the rescue services... helicopter, lifeboat, etc... Still want your M8 to have one...? Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadHahn Posted May 19, 2008 Share #49 Posted May 19, 2008 When "Castaway" came out, I thought if Tom Hanks had one of those watches the movie would be over in minutes. The power isn't great on the transmitter so somebody needs to be listening for the signal. I guess the best thing to do would be wait until you saw rescue planes and then activate it. I agree it is a pretty cool watch, but much to expensive for me to rationalize having one. Especially since I hardly ever fly Chad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted May 21, 2008 Share #52 Posted May 21, 2008 OK................. nobody knows who Mr Seal is , then who is this Pitt guy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frc Posted May 23, 2008 Share #53 Posted May 23, 2008 Pitt? An actor. In a cinema near you! Getting paranoid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saloti Posted May 23, 2008 Share #54 Posted May 23, 2008 Whether we want it or not: Product placement in movies works. I also saw this photo with Seal and his M8. Now, does this have any influence on me? In this case definitelely no. Things were different if Karl Lagerfeld (as an excellent photographer) would use a Leica-M, this might effect even "serious" photographers....

Or "taste", for that matter. <shudder> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
