ashwinrao1 Posted May 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Random post, but maybe it's relevant (at least, vaguely) on this forum. On iTunes, when you link to Coldplay's newest album, "Viva La Vida", one of the band members (2nd from left, the drummer, I believe)) is holding what appears to be a Leica M8, probably with a summicron 35 (by look of the lens shade) mounted and a brown Luigi case/strap. The camera is held to his eye as if he's taking the shot, which makes me wonder if the shot was taken by him using a mirror. Regardless, Coldplay is one of the biggest bands in the world, and iTunes sells more music than nearly anyone, so the combo may garner the M8 some press/attention. I wonder how many may scratch their heads and wonder aloud, "what camera is that?"....Maybe, more M8's will roll of the shelf. Regardless, just an interesting M8 sighting I felt that I could report. Best! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Ortego Posted May 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2008 Good catch although I suppose I'm getting old because until now, I never heard of the band. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasYip Posted May 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2008 If you click on the band name for the general Coldplay page (instead of the Viva la Vida page), it goes to another pic where he's pointing the camera another direction, so he wasn't taking the pix. Also in the other pic there appears to be a rewind knob, so not an M8... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted May 22, 2008 Share #5 Posted May 22, 2008 I saw some pictures taken from the space station. Unmistakable m8 Leica glow. Then there were the latest from the finals at the Beijing Olympics.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
